Merrily We Roll Along
Advertisement
Spanning two decades, Merrily We Roll Along traces the complex, often heartbreaking unravelling of a once-unbreakable friendship between composer Franklin Shepard and his two closest friends – playwright-lyricist Charley and writer Mary.
But this is no ordinary story. Told in reverse, the film winds backwards through time, beginning in fractured adulthood and journeying back to the bright-eyed optimism of youth – when everything still seemed possible.
Long considered a cult classic ahead of its time, Merrily We Roll Along features some of Stephen Sondheim’s most personal and piercing songs.
Now, in a bold new cinematic interpretation of the Tony Award-winning musical, the film invites audiences into the heart of the story – not just watching it unfold, but inhabiting it. Shot with intimacy and immediacy, it places viewers on stage and inside the action, offering a deeply immersive experience that reveals the emotional truth of the piece in a way no theatre seat ever could.
The film features the Broadway cast that earned the 2024 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical, with Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe both winning Tonys for their performances.
