who died last month, is the best musical about New York City ever written.2 hours and 30 minutes, with one intermission. At the Bernard B.

Jacobs Theatre, 242 W 45th Street.No other show understands the callused skin that hardened, cynical New Yorkers develop to make it through another miserable day quite like “Company” does.Sondheim’s musical, splendidly directed by Marianne Elliott, is a paean to NYC about the pains of living in NYC.

Eight million people and somehow you’re still single and in your 30s. Constantly surrounded by wackos and dullards. Friends hightail it at random, unable to deal with the stress.

‘Company’ Star Patti LuPone Remembers Stephen Sondheim on Opening Night

Michael Appler Patti LuPone took her seat on the stage of the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre and readied herself, drenched in jewels and a flowing fur coat, for “The Ladies Who Lunch,” the famous Act II showstopper in “Company.” It was opening night, and Stephen Sondheim wasn’t in the audience.Over the past two weeks, what was a celebrated reimagination of Sondheim’s first great musical, written in collaboration with the English director Marianne Elliott and starring Katrina Lenk as Bobbie, had become something entirely different — a living, breathing memorial to its creator, saddled with the responsibility of being the first Sondheim musical, blessed by the composer and lyricist, to open on Broadway after his death.

‘Company’ Broadway Review: Marianne Elliott’s Exquisite Production Is The Sondheim Tribute We Need

If there’s a better, more vital way to honor the late, incomparable Stephen Sondheim than Marianne Elliott’s superb production of Company, Broadway hasn’t invented it. This gorgeous revival of the Sondheim-George Furth masterwork at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, is, from across-the-board excellent performances and thoughtful revisions to the visual delight of a lovely and ingeniously clever set design, a gift both to and from the genius we lost last month.

‘Company’ Review: A Sublime Revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Beloved Musical

Naveen Kumar Half a century has passed since Stephen Sondheim and George Furth first dazzled Broadway with “Company,” their tartly astute 1970 musical about a single Manhattanite dogged by coupled friends to meet a mate. But director Marianne Elliott’s sensational new revival strikes like a lightning bolt, surging with fresh electricity and burnishing its creators’ legacy with an irresistible sheen.It’s silly and sophisticated, intimate and in-tune with the currents of modern life, brilliantly conceived and funny as hell.
