MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG tells the story of three friends – Frank (Alexander Morgan; most recently Tick in So Popera’s Priscilla Queen of the Desert), Charley (Stefan Jamal; recently Frankie Valli in JERSEY BOYS) and Mary (Tanya Boyle; recently Princess Fiona in SHREK and Elphaba in WICKED) and how their lives and friendship change over the course of 20 years.

The story 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. The show moves backward in time, beginning in 1976 at the friends’ lowest moment and ending in 1957, at their youthful best.

Sondheim’s musicals: Into The Woods, Sweeney Todd and West Side Story are frequently performed, both professionally and on the community circuit. MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG is arguably Sondheim’s best score, however is rarely performed. Most recently, it was limited season at Hayes Theatre in Sydney which received critical acclaim. We’re confident Engadine MS’s production will be a captivating experience that will talked about for years!
