The Yard Theatre and English Touring Theatre in association with Theatr Clwyd have announced a new production of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's record-breaking Tony-Award-nominated comedy musical Company.
Directed by The Yard’s Olivier Award-winning Artistic Director Jay Miller, this marks the first time The Yard has staged a musical. Company will run at The Yard’s new home in Hackney Wick from 27 May - 10 July 2027. After its run at The Yard, Company will run at Theatr Clwyd from 9 September - 18 September 2027 before it embarks on a national tour, with full details to be announced soon.
Today, Bobby turns 35. Bobby has lovers, Bobby has friends, Bobby has nothing in his apartment.
Bobby’s lovers want to know where this is going. Bobby’s friends are getting married, starting a family, or getting divorced. Everyone in his life knows what they want. (Is Bobby a bit gay?)
Bobby can’t decide.
The Yard Theatre’s Founder & Artistic Director Jay Miller said:“Company is one of the best pieces of theatre ever written. Everyone goes through that stretch in their life where everyone around you seems to know something you don’t, or be someone you aren’t. Bobby’s still in it. I can’t wait to get started.”
The Yard Theatre’s Executive Director Ashleigh Wheeler said: “We've been wanting to do a musical for ages but to make it happen we needed the support, input and verve of incredible partners. We're so happy to be making this work for audiences in London and around the country with ETT and Theatr Clwyd. As Sondheim put it, "three is company, safe and cheery."
Tickets go on general sale on 19 November at 12pm noon, with further info here.
