The PBS series 'Great Performances' has announced February 20, 2008 as the air-date for the highly-anticipated professionally recorded production of last season's Tony Award-winning Broadway revival of Company.

The PBS series Great Performances is joining forces with Ellen M. Krass Productions to film the Stephen Sondheim / George Furth musical Company, directed by 2006 Tony Award winner John Doyle and starring Raúl Esparza during the matinee and evening performances on Saturday, June 30.

Variety reports that Company, which won the 2007 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical, may be presented on PBS' 'Great Performances' series.

The Stephen Sondheim / George Furth musical Company, directed by 2006 Tony Award winner John Doyle and starring Raúl Esparza, will play its final performance on Sunday, July 1, 2007 after 34 preview performances and 247 regular performances.

On Friday, February 23rd at 5:30 pm at Barnes & Noble Lincoln Triangle, Raúl Esparza and the entire cast of Company will perform three musical numbers from the classic Stephen Sondheim score in conjunction with the release of the new cast recording of the critically acclaimed Broadway revival.

The cast recording of John Doyle's Broadway revival of Company will be released by Nonesuch and PS Classics on February 13th.
