Company London — Page 17

BWAY Baby2 said: "A problem with a limited run on Broadway could be the expense. The cast is quite large- the orchestra needs to be paid- there are several sets. Dramas seem to be able to recoup if they are hot tickets- and Hello, Bette also was hugely successful- and expensive to produce. Company would be cheaper to produce by far than Dolly- but all in all, a 16 week run might not be seen as a good bet for BWAY."

Yeah that’s true, if it’s not able to recoup given a limited engagement. As others have said though, the Company set is easily enough transferable from the West End to Broadway so the costs might be less in that respect. I just don’t see this as a show that will last long term and appeal enough to the masses.

Company won best revival, Jonathan Bailey supporting actor and Patti LuPone supporting actress!

I personally don't think she deserved to win anyway because the category was SO competitive...Sharon D Clarke's performance was gut-wrenching in Caroline, or Change. And Adrienne Warren is absolutely blowing the roof off with her vocals at Tina. And Kelli as always was doing good work in the King and I. Rosalie might have been last in a category she could have won in a less competitive year.

Really hope we can see Laura Benanti & Patti LuPone!

Thrilled it won so many Oliviers!

Any recent rumors re: transfer plans and a timeline?

Glad it's now in the bag and not down those skinny white jeans he wears, though his wearing of them alone, even without the great performance, is Olivier-worthy.

I must say a significant part of the pleasure of this production for me, which I saw twice, was seeing a gay couple being portrayed, not in the intensity of a solely, gay-focused, issue-driven film or play, but just as part of the normality of life, totally and unquestioningly accepted.

Its transferring Spring of 2020 to coincide with the shows 50th anniversary. More then likely to a JuJamcyn house as Jordan Roth is involved

That sounds dope. I'd be surprised if it didn't with all the fanfare.

In regards to the cast, is Patti the "only" person who'd be noteworthy in that role? (As in, without her it wouldnt survive) What's Bernadette up to nowadays?

Wanna bet?

So basically, No Roseline x Patti, No show?

Is Patti's participation THAT necessary really beyond it just having 'Patti' in it?

She does one song and is chorus in what 2 others? She didn't even make any sort of an impression on me in this when compared to the rest of the cast who were all way more memorable.
