After beginning performances November 15, Marianne Elliott’s gender-swapped version of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s Company will officially open at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre December 9. The show was originally slated to open on the late Sondheim's 90th birthday March 22, 2020, but halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a series of vignettes, Company tells the story of New York bachelorette Bobbie (a twist on the show's original protagonist, the bachelor Bobby), who learns about the perils and pleasures of love, marriage, dating, and divorce from her married friends. The classic score includes “You Could Drive a Person Crazy,” “The Ladies Who Lunch,” “Side by Side,” and “Being Alive."

Flip through new production photos, featuring Tony winners Katrina Lenk and Patti LuPone and their many co-stars, below.

Joel Fram serves as music supervisor and director, with orchestrations by David Cullen and dance arrangements by Sam Davis. Casting is by Cindy Tolan.

Company first debuted on Broadway in 1970, earning 14 Tony Award nominations and winning six, including Best Musical. It was last revived on the Main Stem in 2006 in another re-imagined production, with John Doyle directing a cast of actor-musicians. Doyle and star Raúl Esparza earned Tony nominations, with the production winning Best Revival of a Musical.

As previously reported, Sondheim, whose thematically complex, lyrically nimble, and musically challenging scores changed the face of musical theatre during the latter half of the 20th century, died November 26. Throughout his six-decade career on Broadway, he earned eight Tony Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement honor in 2008, as well as eight Grammy Awards, one Academy Award, and a Pulitzer, influencing the musical theatre genre and inspiring countless artists.
