‘Merrily We Roll Along’ Broadway Revival Recoups Investment, Redeeming One of Stephen Sondheim’s Most Embarrassing Commercial Failures
The Broadway revival of 'Merrily We Roll Along' with Daniel Radcliffe, Lindsay Mendez and Jonathan Groff has recouped its $12 million investment
It’s not a shock, because armed with glowing reviews and a cast that includes Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame and “Glee’s” Jonathan Groff, as well as Tony Award winner Lindsay Mendez, “Merrily We Roll Along” has been a hot ticket since it opened in October. “Merrily We Roll Along” was directed by Maria Friedman, who has been praised for finding a way to deftly navigate the show’s idiosyncratic narrative structure while doing justice to musical numbers like “Old Friends” and “Franklin Shepard, Inc.” It is based on an original play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, the team behind “You Can’t Take It with You.” Sonia Friedman Productions, David Babani, Patrick Catullo and Jeff Romley were the lead producers on the revival.
