A new production of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's Tony-winning musical Company arrived at Broadway's Jacobs Theatre on March 2. With plenty of buzz following a hit run in London's West End, audiences came out in full force to see the the concept production from Tony-winning director Marianne Elliott. In its first week of just six preview performances, Company filled the Jacobs to 101.60% capacity and took in $779,588.10. Elliott's Olivier-winning revival, which sees Katrina Lenk as the gender-swapped "Bobbie" and Patti LuPone as the saucy Joanne, is set officially open on March 22—Sondheim's 90th birthday.
