Description

New co-production Génération Opéra.

French translation of the booklet by Stéphane Laporte.

"Bobby is surrounded, all the time, by everyone. Intimate couples, shaky marriages, unclassifiable friends: he navigates between bursts of laughter and bursts of doubt, in the heart of a New York that never slows down. But does being in "company" necessarily mean being with someone? Between incisive solos and dazzling ensembles, Company questions friendship, relationships, and solitude in the midst of the tumult.

And what tumult! On stage, everything is wild, soaring, and bouncing. The dance numbers are a firework display, the scenes flow at a frenetic pace, carried by a finely crafted score that plays on breaks and setbacks. It swirls, it slams, it swings: the voices intersect and soar in an incredible choral euphoria. Humor bursts forth, tenderness emerges, all with disarming elegance and panache. Irresistible.

Created by Stephen Sondheim, master of the musical, Company embodies what Broadway does best: a brilliant musical, full of zest, wit, and an energy that never falters. A sharply paced, exhilarating, and terribly lively show."
