Merrily We Roll Along

Journey backward through two decades in the life of a successful but disillusioned composer as friendship, ambition and compromise collide. Merrily We Roll Along takes the stage at the Adrienne Arsht Center for select dates from March 12 - April 5, 2026, presented by Zoetic Stage and the Arsht Center as part of their 2025-26 Theater Up Close season. This acclaimed musical by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth chronicles the story of Frank Shepard and his two closest friends, beginning with his present success as a wealthy film producer and tracing back to his idealistic early days as a struggling composer.

The Tony Award-winning production employs an innovative reverse chronology to reveal how Frank's choices gradually transformed him from an optimistic young artist into a commercially successful but artistically compromised filmmaker. Through Sondheim's characteristically sophisticated music and lyrics, the audience witnesses how time and ambition reshape relationships and personal values.
