The 1970 original was a mold-breaker itself, dramatizing the recent sexual revolution through the character of Bobby, a 35-year-old New York bachelor with three gals on the go and deep-rooted commitment issues, despite the fussy best efforts of his married friends to get him to settle.

This version of company is truly changing the way for theatre. In 2018 it is very important that we do not stick to gender norms and casting. This production not only changes the gender of the leading role, they also change some other characters. One of the biggest issues that the press has pointed out is the set and how it might not feel very realistic to New Yorkers. I think with if the creative team takes a look at the show again if it transfers they will be able to fix all of these problems and the show will be even better. This production is supposedly transferring to New York and I wonder how New Yorkers will take this too. I think if this show transfers it will do really well during the tony awards. I hope this transfers because it will start a bigger movement for theatre. This and waitress are really trying to change the way we see characters in 2018.
