But Sondheim and George Furth, who wrote the libretto, create incredible work through this apparently simple subject, where everything evolves in a very intelligent way. He said in 1970: "I want the audience to spend three hours laughing, but when they go home, they can not sleep. It's comedy, but it's not – it's not a drama! And her prose is so good that I would not dare to tease her at all – I would not even have a scene of this work. Nothing in "Company" is useless. It is written with a clock accuracy! "

"What drives George Petrou into musical theater and what is the favorite part of his multifaceted work?" "To be a director, translator, music director or other?" Musical theater for me is all about to do with music and theater. It includes opera in all phases, from baroque to present, operetta, musical. For me, the coexistence of music, theater, dance and visual arts is the culmination of the art – or composer, director, conductor, decorator, member of the orchestra, dancer. I consider myself very lucky to be able to do musical theater in all its forms. And I could not ignore the musical, especially American, which is an extremely broad genre, with opera-like works, like "Sweeney Todd" and "Company", as well as projects clearly belonging to pop culture who, as people of art, we do not ignore because there are many great moments in the pop.
