Neil Patrick Harris to return to stage in “Company”

Neil Patrick Harris will be returning to New York next spring to star in a production of Company, the Stephen Sondheim musical about a perennial bachelor, his dating life and his good and crazy married friends, to be presented by the New York Philharmonic in April.

The performances will run from April 7 through 9, will be produced and directed by Lonny Price.

Neil, in an interview with the New York Times, praises Sondheim for “filling every beat and note and moment with some intention.” He added: “It just allows the performer a great opportunity to mine as deep as they choose. My day job requires a shallowness that will be fun to play against.
