Tony-nominated actress Jennifer Simard received her spot on the famed wall of caricatures at Sardi's Restaurant June 10. Simard is currently Tony-nominated for her role in Company and previously received a nomination for her work in Disaster!

The new revival of Company officially opened on Broadway December 9 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. The production of the Stephen Sondheim-George Furth musical, directed by Marianne Elliott, swaps the genders of several key characters, including the show’s protagonist Bobby (now, Bobbie). Tony winner Katrina Lenk takes on the central role of the bachelorette, who, as she turns 35, is navigating love and life in New York City among all her (married) friends. Patti LuPone plays the “Ladies Who Lunch”-singing Joanne, having earned an Olivier Award for the production’s initial bow in the West End.
