Hit songs from the production include ‘*You Could Drive a Person Crazy*’, ‘*Side by Side*’, and ‘*The Ladies Who Lunch*’. *[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 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 **Elliott’s company** and **Chris Harper.** Be sure to book your tickets early for this production of Sondheim’s classic, but with a twist! * * * 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**.
