Great Performances will present a documentary exploring the legacy of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's musical Company, part of the series' fifth "Broadway's Best" lineup.
Filmed over two years, the broadcast takes an inside look at Tony-winning director Marianne Elliott's creative process of bringing the reimagined gender-swapped production to Broadway during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a cast including Tony and Grammy winner Katrina Lenk and two-time Tony and two-time Grammy winner Patti LuPone.
Featuring rehearsal and performance footage, plus new interviews with Elliott, Lenk, LuPone, Sondheim, and members of the original 1970 cast, Great Performances: Keeping Companywith Sondheim (w.t.), a #PBSForTheArts program, premieres Friday, May 27, at 9 p.m. ET on PBS (check local listings), pbs.org/broadwayonpbs and the PBS Video app.

Wonderful!
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

COMPANY remains one of the most documented Broadway shows, perhaps matched only by Peter Pan, Annie, and Sweeney. Company has had Original Cast Album doc, filmed productions with Adrian Lester, Raul Esparza, and NPH, and now this doc. (and Documentary Now as a bonus!)
Looking forward to this, and hoping it will explore the aftermath of Sondheim's death.

How wonderful! It’s certainly an historic production, so this is welcome and warranted.

Not what they were saying. They said Company "remains one of the most documented Broadway shows, perhaps matched only by Peter Pan, Annie, and Sweeney," and then proceeded to list the ways in which it was documented, including the Original Cast Album doc, etc.

Did anyone watch Great Performances: Reopening - The Broadway Revival tonight? I thought it was beautiful, but it was weird and sad seeing all these shows that reopened only to close or are now struggling.
