Spanning three decades, Merrily We Roll Along charts the turbulent relationship between composer Franklin Shepard and his two lifelong friends — writer Mary and lyricist & playwright Charley.
Originally produced on Broadway in 1981, it then became an inventive cult-classic, ahead of its time. The musical features some of Stephen Sondheim’s most celebrated and personal songs. The 2023-2024 Broadway production, directed by Maria Friedman, redefined the show for a new era, bringing Sondheim’s intricate score and George Furth’s book to vivid life with extraordinary depth and clarity.
At its core, this is a universal story about friendship: how it changes, how it lasts, and how it shapes who we become. This isn’t just a stage production captured on film — it’s something more intimate. The camera lets us see every flicker of feeling, every quiet shift, in a way that brings audiences closer than ever. Don’t miss!
