Attention theater fans! Stephen Sondheim’s American musical Merrily We Roll Along is coming back to the Broadway Stage. It will be directed by Maria Friedman, eight-time Olivier Award nominee and two-time winner for Best Actress in a Musical, and will star Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez front and center. The revival is set to begin in September 2023, and will be a transfer of the 2022 Off-Broadway production staged at New York Theatre Workshop.
Merrily We Roll Along originally appeared on Broadway on November 16, 1981, so its return is sure to make quite the splash. In the years since the show’s debut, it’s also been performed as an off-Broadway revival in 1994, and had a London premiere in 2000 that won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical.
Per The New York Theatre Workshop website, “Spanning three decades in the entertainment business, Merrily We Roll Along charts the turbulent relationship between composer Franklin Shepard and his two lifelong friends — writer Mary and lyricist & playwright Charley. An inventive, cult-classic ahead of its time, Merrily We Roll Along features some of Stephen Sondheim’s most celebrated and personal songs.”
Merrily We Roll Along runs for 18 weeks only, with previews beginning September 19, 2023.
