Auditions Announced for COMPANY at The Carnegie

Robert is single, but all of his friends are married. He envies their love and companionship, but can’t seem to part with his bachelor ways. On his 35th birthday, they surprise him with a cake and a birthday wish that will leave him pondering the life he’s chosen. Full of lively, idiosyncratic characters, in addition to some of Sondheim’s best known songs, COMPANY is a rollicking and reflective send up of the modern relationship. Both poignant and funny, anyone who’s been in love can find a little of themselves in this contemporary Broadway classic.

Winner of twelve Tony Awards (including “Best Musical”) in 1971 and three Tony Awards (including “Best Revival of a Musical”) in 2007, COMPANY is one of the most beloved musicals of the modern era. Featuring hit songs such as “Another Hundred People,” “Side by Side by Side,” “The Ladies Who Lunch,” and “Being Alive,” COMPANY is musical comedy at its very best.
