The producers of the upcoming Broadway revival of Merrily We Roll Along have announced the extension of the musical even before it opens. Originally slated to close on January 21, 2024, the production will now run until March 24 with performances beginning this fall, on September 19, at Broadway’s Hudson Theatre. The sold-out musical staged in London and Off-Broadway’s New York Theatre Workshop stars Daniel Radcliffe as writer Charley Kringas, Tony Award nominee Jonathan Groff as composer Franklin Shepard, and Tony winner Lindsay Mendez as author Mary Flynn. Tickets to the show, including new dates, are available via the links below.

With a book by George Furth and a score by Stephen Sondheim, Merrily We Roll Along’s Broadway transfer marks the first Broadway revival of the show, as previously announced. It is based on the original play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, which was first performed on Broadway in 1981. It centers around the relationship between three close friends, making flashbacks over the course of 20 years.

Before Broadway revival, the current production of Merrily We Roll Along has a history at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory and then West End where it was staged in 2012 and 2013. Almost a decade later, in 2022, the musical traveled across the Atlantic for Off-Broadway shows. It won the Olivier Award for Best Musical with its performance at West End’s Harold Pinter Theatre. Four-time Olivier winner Maria Friedman will be at the helm of the show again on Broadway, with choreography by Tim Jackson and orchestrations by Tony-winning Jonathan Tunick.
