Dream World Productions presents its first production, COMPANY by Stephen Sondheim – A winner of seven TONY Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Music and Best Original Lyrics in the 1971 Original Broadway production and Best Revival of a Musical in the 2006 Broadway Revival. This super-funny musical comedy explores the pros and cons, the ups and downs as well as the ins and outs of being single. Join our talented cast as they try to persuade our hero, Robert, to do what our Government has been hard selling for years… Get married! Lots of great laughs and great songs about LOVE. It’s just wonderful how singing about getting hitched or being ditched can leave just about everyone in stitches. This November, make a date with Robert and friends and keep them COMPANY.
