Merrily We Roll Along Video
Broadway’s greatest songwriter. A daring musical that has fascinated theatre fans for 40 years. And an upstart theater company that’s emerged as one of New York’s most creative. The result is “an early contender for the most exhilarating production of the year” (The Star-Ledger).
Fiasco Theater’s new production of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s Merrily We Roll Along, the audacious musical about three lifelong friends who fall apart and come together trying to make their dreams come true. It’s “a glittering jewel revealed, with an exceptional cast” (New York Stage Review). Don’t miss the theatre event no lover of musicals should miss, onstage through April 7 only.
Running time: 1 hour and 45 minutes with no intermission.
Relaxed performance available March 30, 2019. Lean more.
