===Original London production===
The first [[West End theatre|West End]] production opened on January 18, 1972, at [[Her Majesty's Theatre]], where it closed on November 4, 1972, after 344 performances. The original cast, directed by Harold Prince with choreography by Michael Bennett, featured [[Larry Kert]], [[Elaine Stritch]], [[Joy Franz]] (Susan), Beth Howland (Amy) and [[Donna McKechnie]] (Kathy). [[Dilys Watling]] (Amy) and [[Julia McKenzie]] (April) were replacements, later in the run.<ref>[http://www.sondheimguide.com/company.html#London72 "''Company'' London, 1972"], sondheimguide.com, accessed January 1, 2020</ref>

With so many Broadway cast members reprising their roles, producers chose not to record a new cast album; instead, they re-released the original cast album, replacing Jones's vocals with Kert's, and branded it the London cast album.<ref>Culwell-Block, Logan.
