Sondheim's semi-autobiographical musical turns back the clock on friendship and the high price of success. Beginning in the present and moving backwards, Merrily We Roll Along traces the lives of wealthy, jaded composer, Franklin Shepard, and his two estranged friends through each milestone of their personal and professional lives (good and bad). With a brilliant "Broadway-style" score and that deep insight one expects from any Sondheim endeavor, it's a spirited and moving cautionary tale for anyone who has ever pursued a dream.
Recommended for ages 13 and up due to mature themes.
