In Good Company

Pictured (from left): Christina Hendricks, Craig Bierko, Jill Paice, Jon Cryer, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Jim Walton, Neil Patrick Harris, Patti LuPone, Stephen Colbert, Martha Plimpton, Aaron Lazar, Katie Finneran, Anika Noni Rose, Chryssie Whitehead
Marital Mayhem
Martha Plimpton and Stephen Colbert play Sarah and Harry, married pals of Bobby (Neil Patrick Harris).
Power Girls
Anika Noni Rose, Christina Hendricks, and Chryssie Whitehead shine as the three girlfriends of the production's commitment-phobic protagonist Bobby (Neil Patrick Harris).

Cheers
Patti LuPone, who plays Joanne (Bobby's older friend who hits on him), won raves for her drunken diatribe, “The Ladies Who Lunch.”
Three's Comapny
In his review, THR's David Rooney says "Plimpton and Colbert make an inspired comedy team; their depiction of marriage as a no-holds-barred contact sport is hilarious."
Mad About You
As a bubbly fight attendant who falls for Bobby (Neil Patrick Harris), Christina Hendricks "has a lovely stage presence and delicious timing," THR's David Rooney says in his review. "Playing dumb with dignity, she gives Bobby’s self-deprecating girlfriend an airy sweetness that recalls Marilyn Monroe."
"Have I Got a Girl for You!"
In one scene, Neil Patrick Harris' character Bobby huddled with his friends - (l. to r.) Jon Cryer, Aaron Lazar, Craig Bierko, Jim Walton and Stephen Colbert - as they tried to find him a romantic match.
I love Martha

COLBERT AND SONDHEIM?
ALL MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE
Gah, why don't I live in NY
but Company has to be my favorite musical of all time
That said, it's apparently being filmed and will be screened in theaters in June and I absolutely want to vomit from joy. I NEED TO HEAR STEPHEN SING "SORRY-GRATEFUL" IN ORDER FOR MY LIFE TO HAVE MEANING, GAAAAAH.
And now I want to go watch Anna Kendrick sing "Ladies Who Lunch." Oh, Camp.
Amazing cast though, can't wait for it to be released in theaters.
