All Of It - A podcast by WNYC

[REBROADCAST FROM JANUARY 21, 2022] The new Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's 1970 Tony Award-winning musical "Company" switches the gender of many of the characters, including main character Bobbie, played by Tony Award-winner Katrina Lenk, and her best friend Jamie, now a gay man played by Matt Doyle. Lenk and Doyle join us to discuss the revival, which tells the story of a single woman turning 35, and contemplating whether it's time to get married. "Company" is nominated at the Tony Awards this Sunday for Best Revival of a Musical, Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical (for Matt Doyle), Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical (for Jennifer Simard and Patti Lupone), Best Scenic Design of a Musical, Best Lighting Design of a Musical, Best Sound Design of a Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, and Best Orchestrations.
