Stephen Sondheim’s Gender-Swapped ‘Company’ Arrives at Los Angeles’ Pantages Theatre
In July, the critically acclaimed “Company” musical, a five-time Tony Award winner including for best musical revival, comes to Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre. Britney Coleman stars as Bobbie, a 35-year-old single woman in this thought-provoking production about being unmarried beyond societal expectations. Stephen Sondheim, who wrote the music, earned eight Tonys, eight Grammys, an Oscar, and a Pulitzer Prize throughout his remarkable career – this was only his second musical composition. Unbeknownst to him as he penned “Company” in 1970, it would be the last revival of his work he’d witness before passing away in 2021.
