Last year’s New York Philharmonic performance of Company – which was screened in US theaters last June – will finally be showing in the UK and Ireland on March 15. According to Playbill, “The high definition and surround-sound screenings will be followed by a live question-and-answer session with Neil Patrick Harris, who will talk about the enduring appeal of Sondheim’s work, and the experience of playing commitment-shy Robert. The interview with Harris will be conducted live from Los Angeles with live Twitter feed.” The cast also featured Patti LuPone, Katie Finneran, Christina Hendricks, Martha Plimpton and many others. Tickets will go on sale at www.sondheimscompany.com on February 3rd.

Company should be getting a DVD release sometime in the near future.

This week Neil talked to AccessHollywood, telling them that he would be happy to continue with HIMYM when his contract expires at the end of season 8, and that he’s not likely to be taking over from Ryan Seacrest as American Idol host. Watch him on Monday’s episode of The Talk here (or on YouTube if you’re outside the US) talking about HIMYM, David and the kids, and launching the new M&M character, Ms Brown. He also talked to Parade.com and USA Today.

Neil and racing driver Shannon McIntosh have participated in a photoshoot for the Tag Heuer ‘Time For Rebels’ exhibition. For behind the scenes pictures and info, check out photographer Rob Loud’s website.

Finally, back in December ET Online unearthed a video of Neil from 1989 in his Doogie days. Watch the video here!

We’ve finally added scans from Neil & David’s People interview into the gallery. Thank you to Helena from GoslingFan.com for providing us with such big ones to add!

It also looks as if unfortunately, Neil’s appearance on Ellen tomorrow has fallen victim to his busy schedule, as he’s been replaced in the lineup with Vince Vaughn.

TV Guide has a couple of quotes from Neil in their roundup from a couple of panels on Wednesday at winter TCA Press Tour.

As well as the two shows he was already scheduled to be part of at SF Sketchfest – Brian Henson in Conversation with Neil Patrick Harris, and The Paul F Tompkins Show on Sunday January 23rd – he has also been added to the lineup for the 9.30pm performance of the Thrilling Adventure Hour on Saturday January 22nd. He will join Alison Brie, Colin Hanks, Samm Levine, and Busy Philipps, amongst others, in at the Marine’s Memorial Theatre. Tickets are still available and cost $40/$50.

Finally, if you haven’t already seen it, take a look at this video posted on the official HIMYM YouTube which features the cast talking about “what HIMYM means to them“.
