Company

Bobbie (Rosalie Craig) is a glamorous, successful singleton living in New York. As her 35th birthday approaches, her married friends put pressure on her to abandon her single life and get married. Her biological clock is also ticking.

We watch Bobbie observing how her best friends live their lives. Does she want what they’ve got? Do the securities of coupledom outweigh the compromises? Is motherhood a must-have life change?

This award-winning Broadway hit, with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by George Furth, was first performed in 1970. For this production, director Marianne Elliott (War Horse, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) has updated it for 2018, swapping the lead role from male to female, and earning great acclaim for achieving a more modern take on sexual politics. She also introduces a gay couple and a house-husband in a five-star production that has been proclaimed “theatrical magic” and “dazzling” by critics.

The high-octane cast also includes former Great British Bake Off presenter Mel Giedroyc and Broadway legend Patti LuPone, making her first appearance in a West End musical in 25 years.
