Trailer For Broadway's Musical Film MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG Starring Daniel Radcliffe & Jonathan Groff
A trailer has been released for the Broadway musical-turned-film Merrily We Roll Along, starring Tony Award winners Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez, alongside Krystal Joy Brown, Katie Rose Clark, and Reg Rogers. The musical was written by the great Stephen Sondheim, who brought us some of the most beautiful musicals of the last century, including West Side Story, Into the Woods, Sweeney Todd, and more. This film is a recording of the latest run of the Broadway show, which was directed by Maria Friedman.
The synopsis reads: “Spanning 3 decades, Merrily We Roll Along charts the turbulent relationship between composer Franklin Shepard and his two lifelong friends — writer Mary and lyricist & playwright Charley.
“First produced on Broadway in 1981, then becoming an inventive cult-classic ahead of its time, the musical features some of Stephen Sondheim's most celebrated and personal songs.
“The 2023-2024 Broadway production, directed by Maria Friedman, redefined the show for a new era, bringing Stephen Sondheim’s intricate score and George Furth's book to vivid life with extraordinary depth and clarity.”
I am a huge fan of Broadway musicals, and of Sondheim, but have never had the chance to see this show. It’s so cool that they are releasing it to theatres for fans to enjoy.
Check out the trailer below, and watch Merrily We Roll Along in theatres everywhere on December 5th.
