If there’s a better, more vital way to honor the late, incomparable Stephen Sondheim than Marianne Elliott’s superb production of Company, Broadway hasn’t invented it. This gorgeo…

is a non-stop showcase of splendid performances, sumptuous design , all gliding into well-deserved spotlights on Bunny Christie’s intricately imagined set that owes debts to Mondrian, Alice in Wonderland and the offstage tech workers who sure each piece of the moveable, massive, gliding 3-D jigsaw falls into the right place at the exact moment.

Next comes another comic gem, “You Could Drive A Person Crazy,” the upbeat, fed-up song-and-dance number here performed by Bobbie’s three suitors : the gorgeous if dim flight attendant Andy , the rock & roll, New York-loving bohemian P.J. and the homesick small-town nice guy Theo . That same physical versatility returns in full force with “Tick Tock,” the instrumental number in which the ensemble silently acts out Bobbie’s various imagined futures – the morning after an exciting sexual romp with the flight attendant repeats itself over and over into grinding routine, a pregnancy, a crying baby, all occur simultaneously as the cast moves and mingles with thrilling precision.
