Merrily We Roll Along

Merrily we Roll Along is a spirited and moving cautionary tale for anyone who has ever pursued a dream.

The authors of the landmark Company reunite to turn the traditional showbiz musical on its head in this thrilling and compelling Broadway fable about friendship, compromise and the high price of success.

Stephen Sondheim and George Furth expertly blend the excitement and energy of the backstage musical with a poignant and emotional contemporary story about the importance of staying true to one’s ideals.

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 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.

American College Dublin Musical Theatre degree students are thrilled to present one of Stephen Sondheim’s iconic Broadway shows providing the wit, humour and intensity that embodies the spirit of New York City, directed and choreographed by Mary MacDonagh, musically directed by David Wray and produced by Deirdre Masterson.

Merrily we Roll Along is a spirited and moving cautionary tale for anyone who has ever pursued a dream.
