Merrily We Roll Along (TCG Edition) Details
Review "It's precisely the backward momentum that makes the story so moving: the show builds towards a surge of youthful optimism... that we know will not be sustained. Sondheim's score is also a miracle of construction: motifs, phrases and even non-musical sounds echo through the evening... What I love about this show is that Sondheim's technical brilliance is harnessed to emotional needs." - Guardian (Guardian) Read more About the Author Stephen Sondheim is generally recognized as one of the most influential and innovative artists working in contemporary musical theatre.
