Broadway legend Patti LuPone makes her first West End appearance after 25 years in newly formed theatre company Elliot & Harper Production’s revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Company. Playing for a strictly limited season at the Gielgud Theatre, the musical masterpiece last received a major London revival in 1995 at the Donmar Warehouse, directed by Sam Mendes.
Featuring music and lyrics by theatre titan Sondheim and a book by George Furth, Company is the musical comedy about life, love and marriage. Following Bobby, who has been gender-swapped in this production to become Bobbi, the story sees her on her 35th birthday, receiving visits from her family and friends who wonder why she still hasn’t found a steady relationship.
With musical numbers including “Another Hundred People”, “Getting Married Today”, “The Ladies Who Lunch” and “Being Alive”, Company is a multi-Tony Award-winning show, receiving six awards at the 1971 ceremony, including Best Musical and Best Score.
