Shire Music Theatre

Stephen Sondheim has been quoted as saying he wanted to create a show that would "make the audience laugh all night and then stay awake the rest of the night thinking about it". He achieved this in 1970 when COMPANY opened to rave reviews. This Tony Award winning musical is now considered by many to have inaugurated the modern era of musical theatre and it remains as contemporary and relevant as ever.

COMPANY follows confirmed bachelor Robert, on his 35th birthday, as he contemplates the pros and cons of married life through a series of hilarious encounters with his friends, five married couples and three girlfriends.

This honest, witty, sophisticated look at relationships, features a brilliantly energetic score containing many of Sondheim's best-known songs (including 'Another Hundred People', 'Ladies Who Lunch', and 'Being Alive'), and an ensemble of quirky, memorable characters.

Don't miss your opportunity to see this rarely performed classic, you will spend two hours laughing, and will remember it for years to come.
