Merrily We Roll Along

About Merrily We Roll Along

Spanning three decades, Merrily We Roll Along charts the turbulent relationship between composer Franklin Shepard (Jonathan Groff) and his two lifelong friends — writer Mary (Lindsay Mendez) and lyricist & playwright Charley (Daniel Radcliffe).

Originally produced on Broadway in 1981, then becoming an inventive cult-classic ahead of its time, the musical features some of Stephen Sondheim’s most celebrated and personal songs. This 2023 Broadway production, directed by Maria Friedman, redefined the show for a new era, bringing Stephen Sondheim’s intricate score and George Furth’s book to vivid life.

The critically acclaimed production won the 2024 Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Musical, Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical, Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical and Best Orchestrations.

  3. A dynamic concert photograph capturing a musician performing on stage. The image shows a singer with curly hair at a microphone, appearing to be mid-performance with an expressive, energetic delivery. The lighting creates a dramatic atmosphere with effects from stage lights visible in the background - blues, greens, and warm tones creating that classic concert ambiance. There's another figure partially visible in the background, likely another band member. The dark background with colored light spots and the performer's passionate expression really convey the energy and atmosphere of a live music performance.
