Merrily We Roll Along follows the career of Franklin Shepard backwards in time, from successful movie producer to his humble beginnings as an idealistic and youthful songwriter who, with his best friends Charley and Mary, sets out to shake up Broadway and "change the world." They pledge to never sell out. But what will happen when adult responsibilities collide with their youthful idealism and what affect will their decisions have on their friendship? All of these questions will be answered in Sondheim's musical.

More Information About Merrily We Roll Along

Description

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Book by George Furth. Based on the original play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. Directed by Leslie Jacobson. Musical Direction by Roy Barber. Choreography by Michael Bobbitt. This musical begins in the present and moves backwards to 1957, tracing the lives of wealthy, jaded composer Franklin Shepard and his two estranged friends Charley and Mary through milestones 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.
