Inna found and purchased inexpensive, last-minute tickets to the hit Broadway show Company, playing at San Francisco's Orpheum Theater. I had vaguely heard of the show but had never listened to any of the songs or watched any YouTube videos.
I disliked the San Francisco production, the songs, and everything about it. It all seemed dull and unappealing. We left after the first half, as we were utterly bored.
Company is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by George Furth. The original 1970 production was nominated for a record-setting 14 Tony Awards, winning six. Company was among the first book musicals to deal with contemporary dating, marriage, and divorce,[1] and is a notable example of a concept musical lacking a linear plot.[2] In a series of vignettes, Company follows bachelor Bobby interacting with his married friends, who throw a party for his 35th birthday.[3]
