It was recently announced that Company is coming to Broadway, starring Katrina Lenk as Bobbie! Hear what director Marianne Elliott has to say about the casting choice, and why audiences are going to love Lenk in this role!

COMPANY has an opening night set for March 22, 2020 at Broadway's Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. The production will officially open on Stephen Sondheim's 90th Birthday following previews, which begin Monday, March 2.

The "company" will be led by Katrina Lenk as Bobbie, and will feature Patti LuPone reprising her role as Joanne. Further casting for the Broadway production has yet to be announced.

The production, directed by Marianne Elliott, will not be a replica of the version that recently ran in London's West End. It will feature an American cast, and some updates.

At Bobbie's 35th birthday party all her friends are wondering why she isn't married; why she can't find the right man and why she hasn't settled down to have a family. The multi-award winning musical comedy about life, love and marriage includes Stephen Sondheim's iconic songs, "The Ladies who Lunch," "Being Alive," "Side by Side," and "You Could Drive a Person Crazy."

The London creative team will head the Broadway production including director Marianne Elliott, choreographer Liam Steel, designer, musical supervisor and conductor Joel Fram, designer, Bunny Christie, lighting designer Neil Austin, sound designer Ian Dickinson(for Autograph Sound), illusions designer Chris Fisher, orchestrator David Cullen, and dance arranger Sam Davis.
