Merrily We Roll Along
Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by George Furth
Based on the play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart
This musical begins in the present and moves backwards, 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.
