There is a brilliant play on stage at the Forrest Theatre through December 10, 2023. It is the smashing success of the revival of Sondheim and Furth’s Company , presented by the Kimmel Cultural Campus and the Shubert Organization. Britney Coleman (Bobbie) leads an outstanding ensemble cast. Spectacular vignettes feature Bobbie’s friends celebrating her 35th birthday party. Exceedingly funny, Bobbie’s friends express their various marital plights in song. Several numbers received uproarious applause from the audience, most notably Matt Rodin's (Jamie's) rendition of "Getting Married Today" and Judy McLane's (Joanne's) rendition of "Ladies Who Lunch." The set designs are simplistic yet glorious thanks to Tony Award set designer Bunny Christie. Bobbie’s singing against a backdrop of a thunderstorm is phenomenal, thanks to Set Designer Neil Austin and Sound Designer Ian Dickenson, both Tony Award nominees. Company is a marvelous compilation of Sondheim’s songs with an extremely accomplished cast.
