Group, Senior and Student Discounts are Available! Company is celebrating a major anniversary this year, having premiered on Broadway 50 years ago in 1970. With music and lyrics by Sondheim, and book by George Furth, the production, which highlights the ups and downs of marriage and relationships, was nominated for a record-setting 14 Tony Awards, winning six. The show was considered ground-breaking at the time because unlike most musicals, which follow a well-developed linear plot, Company uses songs presented as short vignettes in no particular chronological order to deal with adult themes and relationships that revolve around one of the character's 35th birthday. While Robert enjoys his bachelor lifestyle, his friends use the celebration of his birthday to push him to get happily married just like they are. As the story unfolds, Robert gets a closer look at what marital bliss involves and is not so sure that marriage is for him. Some of the more famous songs from Company include "Being Alive," "The Ladies Who Lunch," "Side by Side by Side," and "Another Hundred People." Company is directed by Rich Jagunic, with Sonny Sonnhalter as assistant director and Debra Burkhart as musical director. The producers are Mark Durbin and Gary Maher. The talented cast includes Jessica DeFrange, Brad Hills, Karen Spiegler, Brad Kisner, Adrienne Smedley, Will Crosby, Don Bernardo, Jennifer Kubinski, Brian Pichola, Libby Merriman, Sean Donovan, Amanda Smith, Ellie Kelly and Darlene Rocco. This marks the second production as The Hudson Players' celebrates its 75th anniversary season, following a successful run of the comedy Noises Off in November. Because this is the first time Hudson Players has presented Company, ticket sales are expected to be brisk. Production dates are February 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 28 & 29. Showtime for Friday and Saturday performances is 8:00 p.m.; Sunday matinees begin at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are available by calling the Hudson Players box office at (330) 655-8522 or go online at www.hudsonplayers.com<http://www.hudsonplayers.com> for more information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The information contained in this message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
