Decades of Drama

"Merrily We Roll Along" offers a compelling narrative spanning three decades in the entertainment industry.

It delves into the complex dynamics of the relationship between composer Franklin Shepard and his two lifelong friends, writer Mary and lyricist-playwright Charley. Renowned for its inventive storytelling and Stephen Sondheim's deeply personal and celebrated compositions, the musical stands as a cult classic, pushing the boundaries of traditional musical theater.

The production boasts a creative powerhouse, with George Furth's book complementing Sondheim's score, itself based on the original play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. The show's artistic vision is further brought to life by a talented team including choreographer Tim Jackson, Tony Award-winning orchestrator Jonathan Tunick, and designers Soutra Gilmour (scenic and costume), Amith Chandrashaker (lighting), and Kai Harada (sound), among others.

Critical acclaim for this Broadway rendition has been unanimous. In a glowing review by TheWrap, critic Robert Hofler lauded the production, celebrating its successful execution of a notoriously challenging piece, describing it as "downright wonderful." This extension is not just a victory for the cast and crew but a celebration of Sondheim's enduring legacy and the continued vitality of Broadway.
