Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim | Book by George Furth | Directed by Brandon Boring

Fresh off its 2024 Tony Award win for Best Revival, Merrily We Roll Along is Stephen Sondheim’s poignant and daringly personal masterpiece. Told in reverse, this semi-autobiographical musical rewinds through the lives of three inseparable friends—composer Franklin Shepard, lyricist/playwright Charley Kringas, and theatre critic Mary Flynn—tracing their journey from youthful ambition to the fractured realities of adulthood. Spanning the glitz and grit of the 1950s to 1970s showbiz world, Merrily explores the high cost of success and the fragility of friendship with wit, heart, and Sondheim’s signature brilliance.
