Telling the story of one man's struggles to come to terms with the world of dating, marriage & divorce set against the background of 1990s New York.

Originally a series of 11 one act plays by George Furth, they were adapted into a one musical based around New York Marriages in the 1970s by Sondheim.

The production will be Directed by Sheila Arden, with Musical Direction from David Bullen and Choreography from Caroline Essenhigh. Company ran at the Bob Hope Theatre from the 8th - 11th February 2023. Full cast and creative list below.

The story concerns Robert, a confirmed bachelor on his 35th birthday, contemplating his present and future, and the issues of marriage, divorce, commitment and loneliness.

His three current girlfriends and 5 married couples all ‘help’ to influence his future through a series of vignettes.

COMPANY features arguably Sondheim’s most accessible and diverse score containing many of his best known songs, including ‘You could drive a person crazy’, ‘Another 100 people’, ‘ Side by side by side’, ‘Barcelona’, ‘The ladies who lunch’, and ‘Being Alive’.
