Company (Boston Tryout at Shubert) – repro

The historic March 1970 pre-Broadway out-of-town tryout engagement of Stephen Sondheim’s 'Company' opened at Boston’s Shubert Theatre, serving as the vital, legendary incubator for the property. This brief out-of-town run allowed director Harold Prince and Sondheim to completely overhaul and test the show's complex, non-linear book structure and intricate orchestrations before a live audience. This reproduction printing features the early premiere credits showcasing the original performances of Dean Jones as Bobby—prior to his historic opening-week replacement by Larry Kert—alongside Elaine Stritch, representing an essential prize for serious stage historians.
