There was a "Galentines" press event tonight. We should expect some interviews and performance clips tomorrow. There are some brief clips of "Someone Is Waiting" on Twitter, and I really like what Lenk is doing it with it. She is also singing in the same key as Rosalie.

An extended clip of “Someone is Waiting.” I’m definitely a fan of this.

Posted: 2/14/20 at 1:51pmI agree. Not many actors can pull off hand gestures and movements like she does, she also did a lot of that in TBV. Elaine Stritch was another expert at acting a song with her hands.

Finally, the official cast photo shoot is released to EW. It includes commentary from Marianne Elliot. They all look amazing.

That must be the window card, and it’s FABULOUS.
Also, “Another Hundred People” has been changed on Broadway to reflect the feeling of being single and trying to find love on dating apps.

The pictures are cute and really like what Elliot’s saying. We see so many updated revivals it shows that feel very forced, but everything I’ve seen/heard of this take on Company feels natural. I wasn’t aware of how they switched the dynamic between Jenny and David until I read this, but hearing of it I now think it’s a very smart idea.The changes reflect modern day but still feel very true to the original source material.
Company is one of those shows that hasn’t aged poorly due to some very strong writing in both the score and libretto, but it can still feel a bit outdated at times. I specifically remember going with a group to see a college production and one person was talking about how it was the most sexist show she’d ever seen in her life. I’m not quite sure how she got to that conclusion, even if you see the show as being sexist, there’s definitely more outdated works concerning gender, but the point still stands that some will think the show doesn’t fit modern times, and it seems like this production has gone out of its way to do so.
For the record, that college production wasn’t exactly good, so maybe the poor performances in it might’ve influenced her thought on the show and emphasized what she saw as sexism. I personally don’t find the show offensive when it comes to gender as the men are equally as flawed as the women.
Anyway, I’ll be interested when this version of the show becomes available to amateurs. I think a lot of people will jump at the chance to do it. I also wonder if some productions will try to combine elements of the original and the new version. As someone who hasn’t seen the new version yet (but I’m seeing it soon) I don’t know if they’ll be able to do that or not, but I guess I’ll find out once I watch this production.

This is quite a significant change, but it is good to hear that they are doing something that might fix the awful staging of that number, which in my opinion was the weakest part. Also, the large company letters look like they are going to fill the stage a lot better than the cheap Company neon sign during songs like "Being Alive" (assuming it is used then). In addition to replacing Craig, it honestly sounds like this revival is improving on the London production. I have high hopes.
In terms of sales, it's hard because sometimes it can be difficult to gauge if telecharge is fully transparent about available seats and in some cases they disguise it. But if it is transparent, it's looking like this show will have a solid start - add some great reviews, positive word of mouth and some Tonys and I think there is a good chance it can make a profit!!

I just saw an ad for a flash sale for $89 tickets on instagram but lost the ad can cannot find it anymore? Am I mistaken? Can anyone confirm the code if this exists? Thanks!

The code is CMFLASH21 and is valid for performances through 4/12, except Saturdays. It's still working- just tested.

I hate to bring down the mood, but is anyone else not really excited for this? I was thrilled to hear of a high-profile revival but then casting got me down. Was not a big fan of Lenk in TBV, and her rendition of Someone Is Waiting really did not work for me.

That might be a little disappointing if you're not a fan, but I suspect the 'whole is greater than the sum of its parts' - and with so many scenes and songs by the supporting cast (including LuPone) you will probably still have a good time even if you're not a fan of Lenk.
