Merrily We Roll Along - The Movie of the Broadway Show

Join us this afternoon as we see the film of the Broadway show "Merrily We Roll Along." This is a brief summary from Wikipedia: "Merrily We Roll Along is a musical(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_theatre) with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Sondheim) and a book by George Furth(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Furth). It is based on the 1934 play of the same name(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrily_We_Roll_Along_(play) "Merrily We Roll Along (play)") by George S. Kaufman(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_S._Kaufman) and Moss Hart(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moss_Hart).
The show tells the story of how three friends' lives and friendship devolve over the course of 20 years; it focuses particularly on Franklin Shepard, a talented composer of musicals who, over those 20 years, abandons his friends and songwriting career to become a producer of Hollywood movies. Like the play on which it is based, the show's story moves in reverse chronology(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_chronology), beginning in 1977 at the friends' lowest moment and ending in 1957, at their youthful best."
We will meet in the lobby of AMC Empire 25 (234 W. 42nd St - Eighth Ave. and 42nd St.) at 3:30. There are no previews before the movie. Our movie begins promptly at 4. We are in Auditorium 14. My seat is H8. For those who wish we will have dinner at an inexpensive restaurant after the movie. All are welcome and bring a friend.
