+ Want to read

A breakthrough Broadway musical in 1970, Company remains fresh, acerbic and original today. The musical's themes - marriage and commitment, friendship and loneliness - and its innovations in form mark it as a landmark of modern American musical theatre. Company's 25th anniversary was commemorated by two major revivals: in New York, at the Roundabout Theatre Company and in London at the Donmar Warehouse. This edition incorporates all revisions and additions made for these productions.
