Company (2006 Revival)

John Doyle’s spectacular, Tony Award-winning 2006 Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s 'Company' completely reconfigured the parameters of lyric theater tracking, opening at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. Discarding traditional scenic excess to construct a hyper-focused, sophisticated actor-musician production, the entire cast remained on stage throughout the evening, playing their own orchestral instruments to score the narrative of Bobby's 35th birthday. The blockbuster staging achieved permanent immortality due to Raúl Esparza’s monumental, career-defining performance as Bobby, delivering a devastating rendition of "Being Alive."
