In selected cinemas from April 12th 2012 Musical theatre fans are in for a very special treat. Coming to a local cinema is a unique and quite outstanding production of Stephen Sondheim's Company, one with a brilliant ensemble cast that includes some of the hottest names from American stage and TV, including Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), Patti LuPone, Martha Plimpton, Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men) and Stephen Colbert. Company's plot revolves around Robert (Neil Patrick Harris) -- a single man unable to commit fully to a steady relationship, let alone marriage -- the five married couples who are his best friends, and his three girlfriends. Presented as a series of short vignettes linked by a celebration for Robert's 35th birthday, songs include Being Alive, Side by Side, The Ladies Who Lunch, Getting Married Today and Company. Staged by the world-famous New York Philharmonic, Company was recorded live from the Avery Fisher Hall at the Lincoln Center, New York in 2011 and is now screening in cinemas outside the US for the first time. Headlining the production are (in alphabetical order): Craig Bierko, Stephen Colbert, Jon Cryer, Katie Finneran, Neil Patrick Harris, Christina Hendricks, Aaron Lazar, Patti LuPone, Jill Paice, Martha Plimpton, Anika Noni Rose, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Jim Walton and Chryssie Whitehead. The New York Philharmonic is conducted by Sondheim specialist, Paul Gemignani.
