Merrily We Roll Along Tickets

The Stephen Sondheim musical, Merrily We Roll Along, will be playing at The Harold Pinter Theatre in London for a strictly limited 12-week run only from Tuesday 23rd  April to Saturday 27th July 2013.

The show in London will preview from 23rd April 2013, opening on the 1st May for a strictly limited season.

The revival of George Furth and Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along is directed by Maria Friedman, making her directing debut with the show.

Following on from a sensational season at the Menier Chocolate Factory, the show recently won a Critics’ Circle Award for Best Musical.

Based on the 1934 play, Merrily We Roll Along by George S Kaufman and Moss Hart, the musical looks back at the career of talented composer Franklin Shepard, who abandoned his friends, family and song writing career to become a producer of lucrative Hollywood films.

The show features some of Sondheim’s most famous songs including “Good Thing Going”, “Not a Day Goes By” and “Old Friends”.

The cast includes Damian Humbley, Jenna Russell, Mark Umbers, Josefina Gabriella, Clare Foster and Glyn Kerslake.

Furth and Sondheim have retained the same theme of the play but updated it to encompass the period from 1957 to 1976. The story revolves around Franklin Shepard and the show begins at the height of his Hollywood fame as a famous film producer and moves backwards in time, showing snapshots of the most important moments in Frank’s life that shaped the man that he is today. The musical has a chorus that sings reprises of the title song to transition the scenes.

The show, whilst about Franklin Shepard, is also about friendships, and Sondheim wrote the songs to be interconnected.

Merrily We Roll Along originally opened on Broadway in 1981 and was not critically well received.

In 2000 the musical was staged at the Donmar Warehouse directed by Michael Grandage, the cast included Mary Stockley. Merrily We Roll Along won the 2000 Laurence Olivier Awards for Best Musical, Best Actor, and Best Actress.
