Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez star in the Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's musical.
Spanning three decades in the entertainment business, Merrily We Roll Along charts the turbulent relationship between composer Franklin Shepard and his two lifelong friends—writer Mary and lyricist & playwright Charley. An inventive cult-classic ahead of its time, Merrily We Roll Along features some of Stephen Sondheim’s most celebrated and personal songs. Maria Friedman first directed the musical at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory–a production that subsequently transferred to the Harold Pinter Theatre, where it garnered the most five-star reviews in West End history before going on to win the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival.
"'Merrily' finds greatness! A relevatory and intoxicating revival. We're all 'catching at dreams' proclaims a lyric in the title number. With this production, the dream of a great 'Merrily' has been caught."
