Ann Morrison performs her 2023 Bistro Award winner "Merrily From Center Stage" during the run of Manatee Performing Arts production of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG. This is a tale told through the eyes of Ann Morrison's 25-year-old younger self and her Theatre World Award-winning wise-cracking yet vulnerable character Mary Flynn during the 1981 creation of the Stephen Sondheim/George Furth Merrily We Roll Along directed by Hal Prince for Broadway. Morrison, with her masterful Musical Director John Shirley, utilizes the entire original score and layers it with her deeply felt and complicated memories. "I'm not an historian," Morrison states early on in the show, "The 'what happened stuff' you can read in a book and there's plenty of them. I'm an actor and a storyteller. I'm more interested in how it felt to originate what has become an iconic role on Broadway."
