ABOUT “MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG”
Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s Merrily We Roll Along tells the story of three friends, Frank, Charley, and Mary, as their idealism fades over the years. Told in reverse, we see how fame, failure, and personal choices pull them apart. As we move backward through the decades, we witness the highs of youthful hope and the heartbreak of what’s lost along the way. Through Sondheim’s intricate score and emotionally layered lyrics, the musical explores the cost of success, the fragility of relationships, and the longing to hold onto who we once were.
NOTE: Ferrell Studios Community Theatre is a non-profit organization based in Metuchen, NJ. this is a non-equity, non-paid production. All performers must be over the age of 18 at the time of auditions.
