Company: relationships in an episodic musical

Stephen Sondheim’s Company brings marriage, commitment, friendship, and loneliness into focus through a musical structure described as deliberately episodic. The publisher notes its departure from the usual musical-comedy format and identifies the work as a landmark of modern American musical theatre. This edition incorporates revisions and additions made for the 25th-anniversary revivals at New York’s Roundabout Theatre Company and London’s Donmar Warehouse, making it a text shaped by those later productions as well as the original work.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers exploring modern American musical theatre.
  • For those interested in musicals about marriage, commitment, friendship, and loneliness.
  • For performers or students seeking an edition that incorporates revisions made for two anniversary revivals.

Book overview

"A landmark musical, one of those few shows that enter the permanent lore of the theatre by altering the vocabulary of dramatic possibilities." -Time

"There's never been a franker, more sophisticated work written for the musical stage." -San Francisco Examiner

"With a deliberately episodic, painfully accurate book by George Furth and an unforgettable score by Stephen Sondheim, Company is a total reversal of the usual musical comedy format. It is rigorously unsentimental. It has the courage to be both bitter and honest about love and marriage." -Kevin Kelly, Boston Globe

A breakthrough Broadway musical in 1970, Company remains fresh, acerbic and original today. The musical's themes--marriage and commitment, friendship and loneliness--and its innovations in form mark it as a landmark of modern American musical theatre.

Company's 25th anniversary was commemorated by two major revivals: in New York at the Roundabout Theatre Company and in London at the Donmar Warehouse. This edition incorporates all revisions and additions made for these productions.
