| | Synopsis | | "A landmark musical, one of those few shows that enter the permanent lore of the theatre by altering the vocabulary of dramatic possibilities." - Time
"Company is absolutely brilliant, in a triumphant class by itself." - Boston Globe
"Company is one of those little-seen masterpieces of the American musical theatre." - Variety
Originally a series of one-act plays about marriage, Sondheim's breakthrough musical follows five married, once married, or soon-to-be married couples and their mutual friend, Robert, who is the only one without a spouse. In visiting with other couples, Robert seeks to learn "what do you get" from being married. The text includes Furth's witty, cutting dialogue and Sondheim's brilliant lyrics - especially to "Another Hundred People," "Have I Got a Girl for You" and "Being Alive." A portrait of urban angst that is nonetheless hilarious. | | | Details: | | Paperback | | Published: 6/1996 | | ISBN: 978-1-55936-108-8 | | 118 pages, 5.5 x 8.5 inches |
