Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Company is an American musical with book by George Furth and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. The plot revolves around Bobby, a handsome and well-liked single man, the five married couples who are his best friends, and three of his girlfriends. Unlike most book musicals, which follow a clearly delineated plot, the show consists of short vignettes, presented in no particular chronological order, all linked together by a celebration for Bobby's 35th birthday. One of its most notable aspects was that it was among the first musicals to deal with more adult problems through its music. As Sondheim put it, "they are middle-class people with middle class-problems."The 2018 London production and subsequent 2021 Broadway revival reworks the story to Gender Flip several characters, turning Bobby into a woman named Bobbie, making her love interests men, and turning Amy into a gay man named Jamie. The story is otherwise largely the same.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Absurdism: One of the few musicals clearly influenced by Theatre of the Absurd, with its lack of a conventional plot, Black Comedy Deconstruction of conventional married life, and cryptic dialogue. | |

Adaptational Sexuality: In 2013, a rewritten version was in the works with Bobby as a gay man struggling to commit to one man, though a production of this script never made it to the stage. However, the 2018 and 2020 revivals rewrite Amy as a male character (Jamie), thus turning her fiancée Paul into an openly-gay man.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
