HIGHLAND – Stephen Sondheim’s musicals are complex and unusual. Those who expect a conventional love story, a light-hearted comedy, or a traditional dramatic tragedy will be surprised by any Sondheim work, including Company, the 1970 musical presented by Equinox at the Bug Theatre. Company is not so much a story as a collection of vignettes about an aging single man in his thirties, his married friends, and three women who just might be potential wives. The show ridicules marriage and the romantic myths and clichés surrounding it, but it also touches on the loneliness of being single.

It's Bobby's 35th birthday and he's still single, unable to commit to much of anything at all in Stephen Sondheim's Tony-winning musical comedy 'Company'.

Virtually redefining what a musical could be and how it could dramatically function, Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's fiercely idiosyncratic musical comedy COMPANY coined the term "concept musical" and still startles in its unique style, structure and utilization of song. Characters commenting on the action in between playing dramatic scenes had been seen before - perhaps most famously in the Weimar theatre of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht - but COMPANY made it fresh, new and completely contemporary not only in its style, but the attitude and sounds of the night, as well. Featuring bristling yet absorbing orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick, the score positively popped as originally heard at the Alvin Theatre, as did the astounding original production as directed by Hal Prince and choreographed by Michael Bennett. A true blue American original, COMPANY changed the game inextricably and took home many Tony Awards for its highly esteemed, incredibly noble efforts.

When Company was first shown at the 1970 New York Film Festival, it caused considerable stir. A police riot squad had to be summoned to quell the outraged turnaways unable to get into the theater. The film documented the grueling 18 1/2 hour recording session for Stephen Sondheim’s new musical “Company,” which had recently opened on Broadway. It included Elaine Stritch’s show-stopping “Ladies Who Lunch” and became the sensation of the festival even though it was only 52 minutes long and intended for television. It seemed for an instant that it could be released successfully in theaters. Columbia Pictures was even interested. But the legal problems were considerable, and eventually Company had its television run in the U.S. and in Great Britain, and then as usually happens, disappeared from view.

When Stephen Sondheim and George Furth launched COMPANY on the world in 1970, it was something new and unexpected, essentially the first of the non-linear musicals told in vignettes, thoughts, and flashbacks. It was also the source of a number of songs that are now standards for the best Broadway concerts, cabarets, and Great American Songbook events, including "Another Hundred People," "Getting Married Today," "Marry Me a Little," and the whiskey-voiced woman singer's gem, first done by Elaine Stritch - who's still doing it - and now by every singer with the voice for it, "The Ladies Who Lunch," one of the finest pieces of vitriol ever to grace the stage, and still relevant even with 1960's social references.
