About
Bob has it all: charm, faithful friends, and a beautiful apartment in New York. While waiting for the ideal woman—if she exists—he has one fling after another. For his 35th birthday, his friends and family throw him a surprise party, but all anyone can talk about is the fact that Bob is still single. As he gets ready to blow out his candles, Bob wonders if it might be time to get married. The idea is appealing, but all the little secrets of the couples around him make him think twice. Is happiness as a couple all about compromise?
Company established Stephen Sondheim as a major Broadway composer in 1970. With irony, sharp wit, and tenderness, he dissects the worries great and small of married life in the New York tales of a group of friends in full existential crisis. With musical direction by Larry Blank, staging by James Bonas, and choreography by Ewan Jones, Stéphane Laporte’s adaptation makes the work accessible to French-speaking audiences while keeping the songs in their English original.
