June 15 - Out @ Stephen Sondheim's Company

Empire Theatres is presenting a broadcast of a star-studded edition of Stephen Sondheim's Company on Wednesday, June 15th at 7 p.m. at Park Lane. And Out @ the Movies is going!

The Plan: Meet at Park Lane before (tables by the arcade - look for a small rainbow flag), head in around 6:30 then bask in the glory of Sondheim then head down the street to Second Cup for coffee and conversation. (You can RSVP via Facebook.)

Ticket prices are a bit higher than a regular movie:
  • General Admission: $19.95 +tax
  • Golden Age: $17.95 +tax
  • Child: $12.95 +tax
Synopsis (from empiretheatres.com):
Screenvision, The New York Philharmonic and EMK Productions are proud to present "Stephen Sondheim's Company with the New York Philharmonic" in movie theatres across North America. The production was shot in early April as part of the Philharmonic's spring gala. Neil Patrick Harris leads an all-star cast which included Patti LuPone, Stephen Colbert, Jon Cryer, Christina Hendricks, Craig Bierko and Martha Plimpton. Company's plot revolves around Bobby (a single man unable to commit fully to a steady relationship, let alone marriage), the five married couples who are his best friends, and his three girlfriends. It's a concept musical composed of short vignettes linked by a celebration for Bobby's 35th birthday.
