ABOUT THE SHOW

From musical theatre’s most renowned composer, Company is largely regarded as a trailblazer of the dark-comedy, modern-musical genre and the winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score, Best Lyrics and Best Book.

​

On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor, Robert, contemplates his unmarried state. Over the course of a series of dinners, drinks and even a wedding, his friends explain the pros and cons of taking on a spouse. The habitually single Robert is forced to question his adamant retention of bachelorhood during a hilarious array of interactions.

​

Company features a brilliantly brisk and energetic score containing many of Stephen Sondheim’s best known songs. The strength of the piece lies in its vivid yet real characters and every audience member will see reflections of themselves in at least one of the characters onstage.

​

PREPARE: Please prepare at least 32 bars of a song which best showcases your vocal qualities and should fit the style of the show. Bluetooth speaker and piano accompanist will be provided.

​

There will not be a movement audition.
