Company

It’s been 41 years since Stephen Sondheim’s Company made its first Broadway run, but many of the issues addressed by the Tony Award-winning production remain as relevant today as they were then. The musical centers on Robert, a single man who defers long-term commitment in favor of the “company” of his married friends. Casual sex, homosexual advances and drunken rants ensue — just as in real life. This year’s all-star revival features Stephen Colbert, Christina Hendricks, Jon Cryer, Neil Patrick Harris and Martha Plimpton. And it gets the big-screen satellite treatment at Tivoli Cinemas (4050 Pennsylvania, 816-561-5222) Tuesday, August 23, at 7 p.m. (and Sunday, August 21, at 2 p.m.). Tickets cost $18 for adults or $13 for seniors and students; buy them in advance at tivolikc.com.
