Merrily We Roll Along: Complete Recording: Original Cast: Amazon.ca: Music
An unusual and challenging musical in every respect, Merrily We Roll Along has the odd distinction of being a seldom performed show because of its difficulties in staging and yet having one of the finest and most interesting scores to come from the pen of Stephen Sondheim.This JAY recording is the only complete recording, and because of the nature of the book, which tells the story backwards is finally made comprehensible to the listener with the inclusion of certain key scenes and dialogue.

‘Merrily We Roll Along’ Review: It’s a Hit (Reprise) - The New York Times

Merrily We Roll Along movie review (2025) | Roger Ebert
Merrily We Roll Along
Despite constraints, movie magic happens anyway. Minimalism is the crew’s best friend. The overture and first song, “Merrily We Roll Along”—which will recur in various arrangements—are built around tight closeups of Groff’s face, which manages to seem both haunted and oddly hopeful. That Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s musical Merrily We Roll Along has stood the test of time is a sweet irony. Among other things, it’s a meditation on time itself. The story was pulled from George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart’s 1934 play, which showed multiple friendships and romantic relationships forming and di

I’ve read the script, listened to the soundtrack, and watched a bunch of clips from the current production.
I’m struggling to see anything as amazing as people are making it out to be. It’s Sondheim so of course it’s GOOD, but I can’t help but feel like a lot of the overwhelming “this is the best thing to happen on Broadway” praise for this show is caused by the names in it and not the actual content of the show. I wanted to love it but I just really didn’t based on what I’ve seen, and I can’t imagine seeing it live makes that much of a difference (although I’m sure it is better).

Honestly to fully appreciate the show I think you have to see the entire thing. I think the big thing that has people in love with this show is Jonathan Groff’s performance. From beginning to end he is perfect in this role and really adds so much to it (along with the direction of the show and of course Daniel Radcliffe too). The script and music is moving, but the way Jonathan Groff plays Frank makes it even more compelling and brings such an emotional punch to the show. He goes from an unhappy and regretful older Frank to a more hopeful and naïve young Frank, and the gradual change makes it even more heart wrenching.
