The much-beloved musical by Stephen Sondheim and George
Furth, available again in print for the first time in 20 years.
Written over forty years ago, Sondheim and Furth's spirited and
affecting Merrily We Roll Along boasts an innovative structure that
begins in the present and moves backwards in time over 20 years, tracing
the personal and professional lives of a successful producer and
composer and his two (now estranged) friends. With wit, irony, and a
crackling score by Sondheim, Merrily poignantly captures the ways
success can corrupt youthful ideals, and crumble the foundations of
friendship in its wake.
