Merrily We Roll Along
About The Show
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 which subsequently transferred to the Harold Pinter Theatre to critical acclaim—the most five-star reviews in West End history—winning the Olivier Award for Best Musical.

Reviews
-
One of the best musicals of the theater season! Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez triumph in this intelligent, hillarious, human, heartfelt and alive revival.
Aq New York Post -
FINALLY, IT'S A HIT! Maria Friedman's staging brings Stephen Sondheim's brilliant, ingenious score fully alive - and with Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez as the show's central trio, it is perfectly cast.
The New York Times -
Merrily finds greatness! A revelatory 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.
The Washington Post -
Cross your fingers, Broadway: with this superb revival, it might finally be Merrily's time.
