Merrily We Roll Along
by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth
Merrily We Roll Along is a 1981 American musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by George Furth.
Merrily We Roll Along begins in the present and moves backwards, tracing the lives of wealthy, jaded composer Franklin Shepard and his two estranged friends through each milestone of their personal and professional lives (good and bad). The show ends with a touch of rueful irony, as the three best friends at the start of their careers face a bright future: young, talented and enthusiastic about the worlds waiting to be conquered.
Feedback/Comments
Nice show and it was very cleverly done. The moving back in time gave glimpses of ourselves when the world was an oyster before other factors constrained our options and strained relationships. Loved it.
Very well done. Congratulations to the cast
We absolutely loved this. Didn’t know what to expect and were blown away by quality of the performance and cleverness of the staging in such a confined space
Good show,
Fantastic show. Highly recommended
