Does anyone know who runs the social media campaign for Company? I might actually think it's the best social media campaign for a musical I've ever followed. AKA Agency built the website and graphic design so I'd guess they're on the social side of it too. |

The stage is quite high for this as they’ve built the floor up to accommodate the tracks for the (many) scenic trucks. I’d personally avoid the front rows unless you don’t mind a sore neck and not seeing anyone’s feet!

Yes the social media for this show has been excellently managed - the posts are actually interesting, not just mindless drivel. Every time they tweet something new I get more and more excited, I haven’t been so hyped for a show since Groundhog Day!
Also, they have a physical version of the neon sign from the posters and it looks AMAZING:

I've booked a back-of-grand-circle ticket in case they don't do day seats, but I would be very interested in upgrading to a day seat if they become available.

Dear Jonny B is in 'Attitude' magazine doing his bit for the gayers. Oooh, look at them arms. He's imagining hugging me during that photoshoot I can tell. I'd like to propose a toast . .
I also love how the poster of Patti above the theatre is her raising a glass. It's like she's speaking directly to me. |

I'm sure the track used for the recently uploaded time lapse video is the company (ha!) singing the title song at the sitzprobe.

Haven't booked yet. Waiting to see if they will do day seats Last week the Company Facebook page posted: "Our friends at TodayTix are very excited about #companywestend !! Make sure you download their app to be the first to secure exclusive day rate seats from the 26th September. More details coming soon!" So from the sounds of it they will be offering rush tickets (or possibly lottery) |

And Tunick’s orchestrations sound like they’re in safe hands with David Cullen. I'm praying that they've brought back the guitar accompaniment for 'Another Hundred People' - the sound on the OBCR is so iconic and in my opinion having it played on piano just doesn't compare. |

You never know - many of the gender flipped roles might have a different sound altogether.

I thought it was a 1970's type electric keyboard, it's there in the opening number too. Can anyone check the original score/parts? |

The piano gives it a more universal musical theatre type feel. The guitar can make it sound like a period piece

Search 'Company - Making Of Original Cast Recording' on Youtube. 17:45 onwards. Its an electric keyboard, specifically a Clavinet. |

The seating chart appears to suggest E23 and and H25 as having nothing in front of them. Anyone know if this is the case? Trying to find the best spot for my crazy long legs and the renowned E24 is taken on the date I am considering. |

Whether or not the rewrites work, it looks like the show will sound terrific:
I'll find out three weeks from tonight.
And apropos of nothing, I am less than overjoyed to be seeing it in previews having booked a performance that was supposed to be after the opening night when booking opened. It might have been courteous - no, scratch 'might', it would have been courteous for the box office to inform patrons booked between October 11th and 18th that they're now seeing a preview - therefore work in progress - but it seems they can't be bothered. Not impressed. Looking forward to the show, but the company's attitude towards their customers seems to leave a great deal to be desired.

Given I’m in the same position, and this is the first I’ve heard of it. I don’t book previews for a reason, and given the run isn’t sold out it would have been courteous to get in touch and offer a switch if preferred. |

Seeing a preview is exciting and it may be tweaked here and there, but overall it should be pretty much frozen by then. I hear your complaint and I'm sure if you call DM, they would happily switch you. |
