Get Merrily We Roll Along tickets on New York Theatre Guide.Merrily We Roll Along&nbsp;is a musical about 20 years in the lives of three old friends: Broadway composer-turned-film producer Franklin Shepard, playwright and lyricist Charley Kringas, and theatre critic Mary Flynn. The show charts how their friendship devolves and fractures in the course of two decades as a result of Frank's relentless quest for success, fame, and fortune.Merrily We Roll Along goes in reverse chronological order, beginning when Frank is a successful but shallow producer whose choices have distanced him from his true composing talents and lifelong friends. The show ends when he, Charley, and Mary are young, bright-eyed, and meeting for the first time, when Frank and Charley become a writing duo and Mary meets them when she hears the beautiful music coming from their apartment. In the meantime, we also see Frank's romantic and professional relationships get turned inside out, too.The musical is based on a 1934 play of the same name by&nbsp;George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. The&nbsp;Merrily We Roll Along musical changed the names and professions of its principal characters: playwright Richard Niles became Franklin, painter Jonathan Crale became Charley, and novelist Julia Glenn became Mary.Adapting the story of&nbsp;Merrily We Roll Along&nbsp;into a musical also allowed composer Stephen Sondheim to be inventive with style and structure. To fit the reverse-chronological-order setup, he puts reprises of songs before their "original" versions, and he repeats some themes and sounds in different songs to mimic how memories from one's youth take on difference resonances over time.Sondheim collaborated with bookwriter George Furth and director Hal Prince for the original production of&nbsp;Merrily We Roll Along&nbsp;on Broadway in 1981. It was the trio's second collaboration after the greatly successful&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/company" target="_blank">Company</a>&nbsp;— which, coincidentally, was just revived on Broadway in the 2021-22 season. The debut of&nbsp;Merrily We Roll Along&nbsp;in New York was not as successful initially; the show closed after 52 previews and 16 performances.Since then, however, the show underwent extensive rewrites and has become a classic, spawning multiple Off-Broadway revivals and a London production that earned the Olivier Award for Best New Musical. This production of Merrily We Roll Along isn't even the only star-studded production currently in the works — a film adaptation starring Paul Mescal, <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/beanie-feldstein" target="_blank">Beanie Feldstein</a>, and <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/ben-platt" target="_blank">Ben Platt</a> has begun filming and will shoot over the course of 20 years.Merrily We Roll Along&nbsp;and&nbsp;Company&nbsp;join&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/assassins" target="_blank">Assassins</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/into-the-woods" target="_blank">Into the Woods</a>&nbsp;in the list of recent Sondheim revivals in New York. <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/classic-stage-company" target="_blank">Classic Stage Company</a> mounted&nbsp;Assassins&nbsp;in winter 2021, and&nbsp;Into the Woods&nbsp;played <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/new-york-city-center" target="_blank">New York City Center</a> as part of the Encores! musical revival series ahead of a limited Broadway engagement in summer 2022.

Merrily We Roll Along Broadway Tickets | Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez star in the first Broadway revival of this Sondheim musical. The story of of three artists whose friendship falls apart starts at the end and ends at the beginning. Knowing their future, can something in the past change their fate? Relive your teenage years at *Merrily We Roll Along* and learn more about tickets today.

*Merrily We Roll Along* is a musical that takes place over the course of 20 years — but in reverse. Audiences meet Frank Shepard (Groff) in the height of his career as a Hollywood movie producer — a far cry from the passionate Broadway composer he once was. 

Long gone are his ties to his lyricist collaborator, Charley Kringas (Radcliffe), who just won a Pulitzer for his latest play. And hanging by a thread is his friendship with Mary Flynn (Mendez), another old pal saddened by the fact that Frank sold out on the road to commercial success. 

As we go back in time with each scene, it’s revealed that this torn-apart trio was once inseparable before Frank sacrificed his dreams, his integrity, and his friendships for fame.

This revival of *Merrily We Roll Along* off Broadway is the latest of many productions in New York and beyond. *Merrily We Roll Along* began as a 1934 play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. Judy Prince, wife of iconic Broadway director/producer Hal Prince, had the idea to turn that show into a musical. With Hal Prince as director, Sondheim teamed up with George Furth, with whom he also wrote *Company*, to give *Merrily* the musical treatment in 1981. Its Broadway premiere was short-lived, but the show has only grown in popularity since that production flopped, and *Merrily* has become a musical theatre classic.

The show has been streamlined multiple times for its revivals, with Sondheim himself even contributing some new songs. The most notable of these was a 1985 production in San Diego and a 1994 Off-Broadway production. The most recent Off-Broadway revival of *Merrily We Roll Along* was in 2019 with Roundabout Theatre Company and Fiasco Theater, which also produced Sondheim's *Into the Woods* in 2015.

Daniel Radcliffe's career spans stage and screen — since playing Harry Potter, he's appeared in movies like *Kill Your Darlings*, *Swiss Army Man*, and *Now You See Me 2*, and in popular Broadway shows like *The Lifespan of a Fact* and *How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying*. Groff is known for originating the roles of Melchior in *Spring Awakening* and King George III in *Hamilton*, earning Tony nominations for both. Lindsay Mendez's Tony-winning role as Carrie Pipperidge in the 2018 *Carousel* revival is perhaps her most recognizable, but she's also starred in shows like *Grease*, *Wicked*, and *Godspell* on Broadway.

## What to watch for

- The *Merrily We Roll Along* plot goes in reverse chronological order, and so does the music. The reprises of certain songs appear before their originals in the show, and one song, "Who Wants to Live in New York?", is a "first draft" of an earlier song, "Good Thing Going."
- The original Broadway production featured a cast made up entirely of emerging young performers. They included a young Jason Alexander, Tonya Pinkins, and Lonny Price!
- *Merrily We Roll Along* has often attracted celebrity cast members: Victor Garber starred in the 1994 production, Lin-Manuel in a 2012 NYC concert, and Wayne Brady in a 2016 Beverly Hills production, to name just a few. 
- *Merrily We Roll Along* joins *Sweeney Todd*, *Into the Woods*, *Company*, and *Assassins* in the ranks of recent Sondheim musical revivals in New York.
- *Merrily We Roll Along* is getting the film treatment, but we'll have to wait a while. The film, starring Paul Mescal, Beanie Feldstein, and Ben Platt, is being filmed in real time over the course of 20 years.

Merrily We Roll Along Broadway Tickets | See Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez share the stage for a limited time only in the first Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim's classic musical. The disintegration of a trio's 20-year friendship is told in reverse with timeless, poignant songs.

Merrily We Roll Along - NYC - GS

Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez lead the first Broadway revival of this Sondheim musical, about three artists' declining friendship told in reverse. With the future known, can the past still offer hope? Revisit the ambition and optimism of youth at *Merrily We Roll Along*.

“That’s just something I do when I want to hold onto a moment,” composer Franklin Shepard shares in [*Merrily We Roll Along*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/27417-merrily-we-roll-along-tickets). “I close my eyes tight and I swallow. Like I take a picture that I can treasure.”

Be prepared to do the same during the bracing revival of [Stephen Sondheim’s musical](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/a-history-of-stephen-sondheim-musicals-on-broadway-and-beyond), back on Broadway for the first time. You’re going to want to preserve the riches flowing throughout this hurts-so-good musical about growing up and growing apart. 

The show's [1981 premiere](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/a-timeline-of-merrily-we-roll-along-on-broadway-and-beyond) was short-lived thanks to various staging issues. But George Furth's heart-stirring, if cliched, story about the delicate nature of friendship and Sondheim’s enduring hits – “Not a Day Goes By,” “Good Thing Going,” and “Old Friends” among them – earned the show a robust afterlife.

Based on a 1934 play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, the musical unfolds in reverse chronological order. Soutra Gilmour’s spare and handsome set shapeshifts effectively as scenes move back in time and across cities. 

The plot follows the fates of three close pals – Frank (Jonathan Groff), dramatist Charley Kringas ([Daniel Radcliffe](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/daniel-radcliffe)), and writer Mary Flynn (Lindsay Mendez) – whose tight-knit bond erodes as the days go by. It’s 1976 when we first lay eyes on Frank. He's a hotshot movie producer with a fancy home in Bel Air and a life he hates. 

“How did you get to be here?” sycophants and wannabes want to know. Director Maria Friedman’s staging emphasizes that Frank is reflecting on how he got to where he is, which calls up the rest of the show's worth of memories. In a way, the concept turns an opening lyric from the title song — “Yesterday is done” — on its head. The past is always present.

As he holds a script of an unproduced stage show he abandoned for Hollywood, Frank fades in on how his betrayals, cheating, and greed conspired to ruin relationships with Mary, now a self-loathing drunk, and Charley, who’s been excised from his life. Frank’s wives, first Beth (Katie Rose Clarke), and then Gussie (Krystal Joy Brown), a calculating actress, are other casualties. 

The plot finally rolls back to 1957 in New York, where the wide-eyed trio becomes fast friends as Sputnik orbits and signals that anything’s possible – especially when your besties have your back. The big-hearted “Our Time” spills over with emotion.

Friedman’s production premiered in London in 2012 and wrapped a New York Theatre Workshop run in January with the Broadway cast. Her vision is clear, accessible, and very fine. It’s nitpicking to note that the first act pacing is snail-mail slow, but it is.

Since the downtown run, though, the three leads are even better. Cast against the nice-guy type, Groff steps up with a dark streak as Frank, a wolf in Shepard’s clothing. Mendez makes Mary’s quips drip acid and the reality-check number, “Like It Was,” a musical highlight.

Radcliffe really pops now, and Charley’s comedic cri de coeur “Franklin Shepard, Inc.” is a showstopper. Actually, it’s a moment to close your eyes tight and swallow.

merrily broadway-1200x600-NYTG

Read our four-star review of Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez in Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's *Merrily We Roll Along* on Broadway.

Daniel Radcliffe is in *Merrily We Roll Along* on Broadway.

Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born on&nbsp;July 23, 1989 in Hammersmith, London, and is, of course, best known for starring as the title character in all eight movies of the&nbsp;Harry Potter&nbsp;franchise.

At age 10, he made his acting debut in the BBC's TV adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield,&nbsp;playing a young David in the two-part special&nbsp;which aired in 1999. His feature film debut came just two years later in 2001, after being cast as Mark in The Tailor of Panama.

Next, Radcliffe auditioned for the title role in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone&nbsp;in 2000. The film's director, Chris Columbus, had been impressed with his performance in David Copperfield, and&nbsp;after eight months and several rounds of auditions, he was finally cast to play Harry. The first film in the franchise was released by Warner Bros. in 2001, making Radcliffe into a global star overnight. Over the next 10 years, a further seven movies were released: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets&nbsp;(2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban​&nbsp;(2004), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire&nbsp;(2005), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix​&nbsp;(2007), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince&nbsp;(2009), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1&nbsp;(2010), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2&nbsp;(2011).

During his Harry Potter&nbsp;years, he also appeared as himself (opposite Ricky Gervais) on the TV series Extras&nbsp;in 2006, as Maps in the&nbsp;film&nbsp;December Boys,&nbsp;and as&nbsp;John Kipling in the TV movie My Boy Jack,&nbsp;both released in 2007. His most notable post-Potter screen credits include The Woman in Black&nbsp;(2012), Kill Your Darlings&nbsp;and Horns&nbsp;(2013), Victor Frankenstein&nbsp;(2015), and Swiss Army Man,&nbsp;Now You See Me 2,&nbsp;and Imperium&nbsp;(2016).

Radcliffe has also established himself as a gifted stage actor on both sides of the Atlantic. He made his West End debut in 2002&nbsp;as a celebrity guest in the London production of&nbsp;The Play What I Wrote, directed by Kenneth Branagh. His first full-time theatre role was&nbsp;Alan Strang in the spring 2007 West End revival of&nbsp;Equus, which transferred to New York in the fall of 2008, marking&nbsp;his Broadway debut and earning Radcliffe his first Drama Desk Award nomination. In spring 2011, he would make his Broadway musical debut, taking on the role of J.&nbsp;Pierrepont Finch in a revival of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/how-to-succeed-in-business-without-really-trying">How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying</a>&nbsp;from February 2011&nbsp;to January 2012. His performance earned him&nbsp;a second Drama Desk Award nomination, as well as a Grammy Award nomination in the category of "Best Musical Theater Album".

He returned to the London stage in 2013, playing Billy in a revival of Martin McDonagh's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/the-cripple-of-inishmaan-0">The Cripple of Inishmaan</a>, which transferred to Broadway in the spring of 2014 and resulted in a third Drama Desk Award nomination. In the summer of 2016, he made his Off-Broadway debut as The Writer&nbsp;in <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/public-theater">The Public Theater's</a> production of&nbsp;Privacy&nbsp;and then returned to the London stage as Rosencrantz in the Old Vic's spring 2017 revival of&nbsp;Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

Radcliffe then came back to Broadway from September 20, 2018&nbsp;through January 13, 2019, playing Jim Fingal in the world premiere of&nbsp;The Lifespan of a Fact&nbsp;at <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/studio-54">Studio 54</a>. In 2023, he plays Charley Kringas in the first Broadway revival of *Merrily We Roll Along*, reprising his role from an Off-Broadway revival in 2022.

The Hudson Theatre first opened on October 19, 1903, with *Cousin Kate* starring Ethel Barrymore. Although the firm of J. B. McElfatrick & Son first drew up the architectural design of the theatre in 1902, the firm of Israels & Harder ultimately took over and completed the project. The venue was built for theatrical producer Henry B. Harris, who managed the theatre until his death as a passenger on the RMS Titanic in 1912. 

During the 1930s and 1940s, the building was also used as for CBS Radio broadcasts when it wasn't being used for theatrical productions. NBC purchased the property in 1950, converting it into a permanent television studio. The venue housed *The Tonight Show* from 1954 to 1959.

Over the next few decades, under the ownership of developer Abraham Hirschfeld, the building was used for theatrical productions (1960 to 1968), as an adult movie house (from 1974), and as the Savoy rock club (from 1980). The Hudson Theatre was awarded New York landmark status in 1987.

Millennium & Copthorne Hotels purchased the Hudson in 1995 as a part of the surrounding luxury hotel known as the Millennium Broadway and used as a business conference center and auditorium. During this time, it was additionally used as a stand-up comedy venue for Comedy Central broadcasts.

In 2015, Ambassador Theatre Group purchased the venue as its second official Broadway venue, following the [Lyric Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/lyric-theatre). After fully shutting down and undergoing a major renovation, the Hudson reopened in 2017 with a revival of Stephen Sondheim's musical *Sunday in the Park with George,* starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Since the theatre first opened in 1903 and reopened from scratch in 2017, the Hudson is simultaneously Broadway's oldest and newest theatre.
