"There is nothing fragile about Company... it is by turns brassy, brittle, sympathetic, cynical, romantic, calculating and alive-oh so very much alive. It's been a long time since a musical has come along with so many show-stopping numbers.... Stephen Sondheim's music and lyrics add up to one of the best scores on Broadway currently.... Company is the best musical of the year."

"Let's hear it for Company, the newest and slickest thing in town. As smooth as the steel-and-glass buildings of midtown Manhattan and as jumpy as an alley cat, it is Broadway's first musical treatment of nerve ends.... George Furth's book is diamond-sharp, funny and chilling both. But Stephen Sondheim's while equally scintillating, shine through time and again with a welcome and essential warmth."
