Review: Gender-Swapped COMPANY Falls Flat at the Ohio Theatre Despite Genius Sondheim Score

Nominated for a record-setting 14 Tony Awards and winning 6 in the original production in 1970, Stephen Sondheim’s COMPANY was one of the first musicals to deal with contemporary dating, marriage, and divorce.  Originally played by a male lead, Director Marianne Elliott (with approval from Sondheim) decided to swap genders in the second West End revival in 2018, and Bobby then became Bobbie. We are also introduced to cell phones, selfies, and same sex marriages, which were never part of the original 1970 production. Although I’ve never seen the original version, this production falls flat on many levels.  Whether that’s due to the updated writing, the gender flips, or lack of chemistry between the characters, the show seems cold and disconnected.
