The full company of *Company* now includes, in alphabetical order by first name, **Alex Gaumond** as Paul, **Ashley Campbell** as Peter, **Ben Lewis** as Larry, **Daisy Maywood** as Susan, **Ewan Gillies**, **Francesca Ellis**, **Gavin Spokes** as Harry, **George Blagden** as PJ, **Grant Neal**, **Jaimie Pruden**, **Jennifer Saayeng** as Jenny, **Jonathan Bailey** as Jamie, **Matthew Seadon-Young** as Theo, **Mel Giedroyc** as Sarah, **Michael Colbourne**, **Patti LuPone** as Joanne, **Richard Fleeshman** as Andy, **Richard Henders** as David, and **Rosalie Craig** as Bobbie. This unconventionally brilliant musical tells the story of Bobbie (**Craig**) who is about to turn 35 and finds herself amidst a mid-life crisis. At her birthday party, she can’t seem to escape the burning question that has long been driving her mad: *When are you going to settle down and have kids?* Will Bobbie manage to overcome her inner conflict or will the constant pestering from her friends place so much pressure on her that she ends up going off the deep end? Accompanied by such fantastic numbers as ‘Side by Side’, ‘You Could Drive a Person Crazy’, and ‘The Ladies Who Lunch’, this is one unique production that is sure to bring the house down. Many of the characters in the new production have received a “sex change” complete with character name changes. **Stephen Sondheim** granted his consent for the gender-bending changes and for the main character to be transformed into a middle-aged woman named Bobbie. This unprecedented move has created a fresh new production for London audiences to enjoy. *[Company](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/2916/company-tickets.aspx) *features choreography by **Liam Steel, **design by **Bunny Christie,** sound by **Ian Dickson **and lighting by **Neil Austin.** The new London production of *[Company](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/2916/company-tickets.aspx) *opens at the [Gielgud Theatre](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/22/gielgud-theatre.aspx) on **26 September** and is booking **until 22 December 2018*. **It forms a part of a new season of shows from **Marianne Elliott’s company** and **Chris Harper.** Be sure to book your tickets early for this gender-swap production of Sondheim’s classic musical. * * * Purchase your tickets to *Company *[here](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/2916/company-tickets.aspx). * * * *Update (23/10/2018): *[Company](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/2916/company-tickets.aspx) *is **now booking until 30 March 2019**.
