Auckland Music Theatre presents Merrily We Roll Along

Sondheim's semi-autobiographical musical turns back the clock on friendship and the high price of success.

Merrily We Roll Along begins in the present and moves backwards, tracing the lives of wealthy, jaded composer Franklin Shepard and his two estranged friends, Charley Kringas and Mary Flynn, through each milestone of their personal and professional lives (good and bad). The show ends with a touch of rueful irony, as the three best friends at the start of their careers face a bright future: young, talented and enthusiastic about the worlds waiting to be conquered.

Merrily We Roll Along crackles with the wit, humour and intensity that embody the spirit of New York City. With a brilliant 'Broadway-style' score and that deep insight one expects from any Sondheim endeavour, Merrily We Roll
Along is a spirited and moving cautionary tale for anyone who has ever pursued a dream.
