GREAT PERFORMANCES' "Company" "Company," the 2007 Tony Award winner for Best Musical Revival, airs February 20 on PBS' GREAT PERFORMANCES series (check local listings). Long before "Sex and the City," the Stephen Sondheim/George Furth musical "Company" took an unconventional look at love and commitment in complex modern New York. The 1970 era-defining classic was -- and is -- an honest, funny and sophisticated portrayal of five married couples as seen through the eyes of their mutual friend Robert, a waffling, 35-year-old bachelor evaluating the pros and cons of wedded life. Raul Esparza, who won Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for his portrayal of leading man Robert, heads the cast of actor-musicians. John Doyle ("Sweeney Todd") directs. In this video clip, Raul Esparza and company sing "Side by Side by Side." GREAT PERFORMANCES is produced for PBS by Thirteen/WNET New York. For more information, visit www.pbs.org/gperf.
