Merrily We Roll Along

Posted in: Theatre

MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG is a thrilling and compelling showbiz fable about friendship and the high price of success.

With a score showcasing some of Stephen Sondheim’s best-known songs, including “Good Thing Going,” “Not a Day Goes By,” and “Old Friends,” this semi-autobiographical musical turns back the clock on friendship and the importance of staying true to one’s ideals.

Kaufman & Moss Hart. Tickets start at $26.50. Showtime 7:30 PM except for 2:00 PM Sunday matinees. Midland Center for the Arts, 1801 W. St. Andrews.
