In 1981, Merrily We Roll Along opened on Broadway and quickly closed after negative reviews.
In 2023, it returned to Broadway with Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez, and it was a huge Tony-winning success.
So Sony Pictures Classics and Fathom Entertainment decided to film a performance, and they are releasing it on the big screen.
Today, they released a trailer for it, and it looks like a lot of fun. However, there is one major problem. Because it is not live, that means we do not get to experience Groff’s spit. And that makes it less enjoyable! It is all about the spit when he is in a musical.
Merrily rolls along to theaters starting on December 4th, and you can get tickets here.
