George Furth

Merrily We Roll Along George Furth

The much-beloved musical by Stephen Sondheim and George
Furth, available again in print for the first time in 20 years.



Written over
forty years ago, Sondheim and Furth's spirited and affecting Merrily We Roll Along boasts
an innovative
structure that begins in the present and moves backwards in time over 20 years,
tracing the personal and professional lives of a successful producer and
composer and his two (now estranged) friends. With wit, irony, and a crackling
score by Sondheim, Merrily poignantly captures the ways success can
corrupt youthful ideals, and crumble the foundations of friendship in its wake.
