Merrily We Roll Along

Merrily We Roll Along takes place over two decades and follows the complex, often heartbreaking decline of a once indestructible friendship between composer Franklin Shepard and his two best friends – playwright and lyricist Charley and writer Mary. But it is not just any story. 

The film begins where it ends, in Franklin's shattered existence, and travels back to a time of carefree youthful optimism – when everything seemed possible. Merrily We Roll Along, long considered a cult classic that was ahead of its time, features some of Stephen Sondheim's most personal and poignant songs. 

This bold filmic interpretation of the Tony Award-winning musical brings the audience to the heart of the story. Not just to see how it unfolds, but to experience it up close. Thanks to the intimate and direct imagery, as a viewer you are on stage, as a participant in the action. The film offers an immersive experience and visualizes the emotional weight in a way that no theater seat can match.
