Company London — Page 2

Unless it gets extended the show is in West End until December 22nd.

Normally on Broadway the holiday season is one of the busiest (and most expensive) time to see theater. I wonder if it's the same case in London. Do you guys think this show will have an extension or two?

I wonder if John Groff would make a good 'traditional' bobby

This production must transfer!

Bobby as the girl works so well newcomers won't realize the lead was written as male.

The rewrite works too. Does anyone know if Sondheim rewrote it? Jonathan Bailey really nailed "Not Getting Married Today". "Being Alive" proves to be one of the best thing Sondheim ever written musically and lyrically delivered so wonderfully by Rosalie Craig. The only number that doesn't work so well is "Another Hundred People", I don't think a male voice fits the song. Joanne offering Bobby to Larry seems a bit weird to me too.

Seeing that almost every major revival/production of "Company" has been professionally filmed (Sam Mendes' 1995 London revival, John Doyle's 2006 Broadway revival and the 2011 NYPH concert), do you think this revival will get filmed as well??

Also how likely are we get to get a cast recording of this show?

QueenAlice said: "I'm also hearing a Broadway transfer is likely but probably with a name American actress in the lead."

My mind is running wild with the possibilities...

QueenAlice said: "I wonder if someone like Anne Hathaway could sing it? "

I have absolutely no idea why, but Anne Hathaway came to the front of my mind first. I have zero clue if she could sing Bobbi/y's score, but I can't escape her name for this role.

QueenAlice said: "Well for whatever its worth - as someone who likes Rosalie Craig a great deal, she isn't a huge powerhouse vocalist. I'm not sure that having an extraordinary singing voice is the principal qualification for playing Bobby. Has it ever been?"

I definitely think Bobby is more of an acting role than a vocally complex role, but Bobby must be able to tear down the house in "Being Alive."

Well Patti also said in an interview about a month ago that she has a play in the pipeline after Company, but didn't give any specifics on what or where.

O!? I wonder if it could be Glengarry Glen Ross?

Ah I wondered about that--as it was mentioned early on by the director that it would be more about the "tick tock" of Bobbie's biological clock (which is the entire conceit as to why friends would be pushing for a 35 year old in 2018 to get married).

Glad to hear the praise for Jonathan Bailey--I've been a big fan for a while.
