Company
May 7 - May 24
Monterey
Peninsula College - Theatre
Sondheim collaborated with George Furth
(book) and Harold Prince (director) to create
Company, the first of the Sondheim/Prince
shows that were to lay the foundation for the
post-Golden Age Broadway musicals. Company
was the first non-linear, "concept," musical.
Set firmly in, and often about, New York,
Company follows five married, once married,
or soon to be married couples and their
mutual friend, Robert, a 35 year old bachelor
who has been unable to connect in a long-term
relationship. The relationships are presented
in a series of vignettes, primarily through
Bobby's eyes, so that we see the less than
ideal aspects of commitment. However, it is
obvious to the audience that the committed
are happy. Eventually, Bobby learns that
while relationships aren't perfect, they are
a necessary part of "Being Alive."
