Company

On the evening of his 35th birthday, Robert struggles to grant a wish by blowing out his candles. The bachelor is surrounded by his good and crazy friends, all married. Robert doesn't know if he should just be happy with his lot or if he wants a romantic partner as well. After a series of dinners, first dates, and thoughtful conversations, Robert tries to figure out the pros and cons of his friends' marriage, and begins to make sense of his continued celibacy.
Stephen Sondheim's musical is a mature, intelligent, and very funny look at relationships, vulnerability, and being alive.
