Company

Parkshot Studio

8th-13th May 1989

Director – Roger Roseboom
Musical Director – Peter Roberts
Choreography – Margaret Boughton, Angela Sturgeon, Clea Bartholomeusz

Originally entitled Threes, its plot revolves around Bobby (a single man unable to commit fully to a steady relationship, let alone marriage), the five married couples who are his best friends, and his three girlfriends.

Unlike most book musicals, which follow a clearly delineated plot, Company is a concept musical comprised of short vignettes, presented in no particular chronological order, linked by a celebration for Bobby’s 35th birthday.

Part of a back to back double bill with Cowardy Custard presented to fill the hole left by the temporary closure of Richmond Theatre for refurbishment.
