Merrily We Roll Along

A Broadway fable about friendship, compromise, and the high price of success

Stephen Sondheim and George Furth expertly capture the energy of a backstage musical to create a contemporary story about the importance of staying true to one’s ideals.

---

Merrily We Roll Along begins at the end and moves backwards, tracking back through the lives of wealthy, jaded composer Franklin, Charley, his lyricist, and their long-time friend Mary past 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, now at the start of their careers, face a bright future: young, talented and enthusiastic about the worlds waiting to be conquered.
