Position:Home>Theater & Acting> Stephen Sondheim's musical "Company"?


Question:I'm performing a monologue soon and I was wondering if anyone could tell me about Sondheim's musical Company, especially focusing on the character of April who plays a stewardess/one of his girlfriends. Thanks, anything you can tell me about the scenes with her or the type of person she is would be greatly appreciated. What happens to her in the end?! Thank you.

Good Luck!

If you are not performing the monologue before the 20th you're in luck. The last Broadway revival (open last winter and closed in the summer) was taped for PBS's Great Perfomances series. It will be airing on Wednesday the 20th. There's nothing like seeing the actual thing. Here's the website for more information...
