“Company” at the Pantages: A Hilarious and Heartfelt Look for Love (and Ourselves)

Right now, and only until August 18th – Company – is playing at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood, California.

Let’s face it, finding love in the modern world can feel like a hilarious, messy, and sometimes downright frustrating game. But fear not, lovestruck souls! Tony Award winning “Company” at the Pantages Theatre is here to serve up a side of side-splitting humor and poignant truths with a healthy dose of Stephen Sondheim’s music and brilliance.

Now, this isn’t your grandmother’s romantic comedy. This 1970 gem throws us into the whirlwind world of Bobbie, a single woman who is surrounded by five of her perfectly coupled-up friends. As they dissect love, marriage, and everything in between, we get a hilarious and insightful glimpse into the complexities of relationships (and the pitfalls of staying single!).

What I enjoyed most about the show?

• Iconic Sondheim: Stephen Sondheim’s music and lyrics are as fabulous as ever! Witty, cynical, and undeniably catchy, they drive the story forward and perfectly capture the emotional roller coaster of love and commitment.
• A Stellar Cast: These actors have top-notch voices and great comedic timing! They deliver Sondheim’s powerful and clever music and witty lines with impeccable timing, making you laugh until your sides ache. But don’t be fooled, they also tap into the vulnerability and loneliness beneath the surface with touching sincerity. Fabulous!
• Relevant and Relatable: The themes of “Company” are timeless. Whether you’re happily coupled, single and fabulous, or somewhere in between, there’s something in this show that will resonate with everyone. It’s a fun and thought-provoking conversation about what it means to connect (or not connect) with others. It’s about the highs, lows, challenges and wonderfulness of relationships.
• A Feast for the Eyes: The minimalist set with its rotating stage might seem simple at first glance, but it’s incredibly effective. It allows the focus to remain on the standout performances and the witty dialogue. Plus, the retro-inspired costumes are so much fun!

So… If you’re looking for a night of laughter, thought-provoking insights about relationships, and a healthy dose of Sondheim magic, then “Company” is the show for you! Grab your girlfriends (or your special someone!) and get ready to be entertained.
