About Merrily We Roll Along
Sondheim's masterwork about friendship, ambition and the compromises that shape a life takes the Signature stage again after 20 years and is directed by Matthew Gardiner.
Told in reverse chronological order, the musical follows three longtime friends as they navigate idealism, loyalty and disappointment over the course of twenty years. The successes and failures of their adulthoods unwind as the cynicism of age erases back to the glowing optimism of youth.
Crackling with wit and a rich musical score, Sondheim’s gem features the gorgeous songs “Our Time,” “Good Thing Going,” and “Not a Day Goes By.”
“Wonderful: sharp, cynical and funny, with a bright, brassy score.” – The Washington Post
