Company (2020), Part 1

Bottomless Broadway

Your phone may be ringing and your door chiming less often, but in comes our episode on the gender-swapped revival of Company, where you can hear us unironically judge the life choices of a woman a decade older than us.

Christine's first introduction to Company was when Glee did "Getting Married Today", which worked surprisingly well in the show: https://youtu.be/pLRNEILRVjw

For Sondheim's birthday, The New York Times put out a series of articles honoring him, including Jesse Green's tribute: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/12/theater/stephen-sondheim-playwright.html

Patti LuPone is definitely making the most out of her quarantine, so check out the first of four (so far) basement videos she's posted on Twitter: https://twitter.com/PattiLuPone/status/1241891274321539072

The letters of "Company" that we mention in "Another Hundred People" can be seen on the musical's Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hIa-7H_24/

If you want a deeper dive into the Company musical itself, as well as comparisons across different versions, check out the fantastic Putting It Together podcast (where you might also hear a familiar voice): https://puttingittogether.transistor.fm/

Like West Side Story, no cast album has been announced for the Broadway cast as of yet, but you can watch a performance of "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" from BroadwayCon (https://youtu.be/e7k0qn0TBMA) as well as snippets of other songs from the show featuring Katrina Lenk, Patti LuPone, and the rest of the ensemble from the First Look Concert at the Guggenheim (https://youtu.be/mQIq6zRt8ys).

All the song segments heard in the show come from the 2018 London revival cast album (featuring all different actors except for Patti LuPone).
