OMG! The just released 2018 London production of Sondheim’s Company is a stunner. A complete reinterpretation where Bobbie (Rosalie Craig) is a woman. Gender roles are switched up. There are too numerous standout song cuts to mention. Hearing the iconic Another Hundred People, Not Getting Married Today and You Could Drive A Person Crazy sung by men is thrilling. And what Rosalie Craig does with Marry Me a Little and Being Alive is brilliant. Lovely additions are London Symphony Orchestra of Tick Tock and Into Nightclub are orgasmic. And then Patti Lupone rips through Ladies Who Lunch. You’ll die and go to heaven.
