Merrily We Roll Along, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by George Furth, is a musical about "friendship and the compromise of youthful ideals, based on the 1934 play of the same name by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. The show moves backwards in time from 1980 to 1955 and examines the lives of three people whose friendship is tested by time, events, ambition and fate. It charts the rise of a songwriting team during the years of Sondheim’s own early career," according to press notes.

Merrily We Roll Along runs through Feb. 19.
