Merrily We Roll Along was recently featured on an episode of CBS Sunday Morning, where the cast discussed the show, Sondheim, and more.

In a new clip, Daniel Radcliffe reveals which song from the show 'haunts his dreams'.

"The thing that stresses me out about the show much is 'Franklin Shepard Inc.', one of the songs I sing, which, you know, is both a joy to do and also will haunt my dreams until the show is done," he said.

Lindsay Mendez then chimes in, "Dan kills it!"
