“How did you get to be here? What was the moment?”
Franklin Shepard, a gifted composer turned shallow movie producer, is at the peak of his success and the depth of his misery. His second marriage is on the rocks, he hasn’t seen his son in years, and his longest and most cherished friendships have entirely disintegrated.
As the memories of Frank’s past revisit him, he is challenged not just to take stock of his life but to take responsibility for the actions that lead him to where he is… and see if he can find where it all went wrong.
In a story spanning twenty years and told in reverse, Merrily We Roll Along escorts Frank through his life with his closest friends and collaborators Charley Kringas and Mary Flynn, confronting him with all the moments in which they grew apart and grew away from their dreams.
With one of the most exciting and inventive scores in musical theatre, Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s musical reminds us of the dreams we start with and how, by facing the choices we make, we can always find our way back to them.
