Video: Jonathan Groff and Katie Rose Clarke Star in Clip From MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG Film

A life in show business comes with its ups and downs, as evidenced in this scene from Merrily We Roll Along, now available on digital from Sony Pictures Classics. 

This exclusive clip from the filmed version of the 2023 Broadway revival picks up with composer Franklin Shepard (Jonathan Groff) during a particularly strenuous moment in his crumbling marriage to Beth (Katie Rose Clarke).

Taken from the end of Act 1 of the stage show, Beth is forced to make a difficult choice about their future as a family. Before too long, Franklin's old friends Charley Kringas (Daniel Radcliffe) and Mary Flynn (Lindsay Mendez) come to offer some encouragement, with a snippet of the song "Now You Know."

The filmed version of the Tony Award-winning musical is now available to watch on digital platforms. The release retails for $9.99 to rent and $14.99 to purchase on Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video, and more. Sony Pictures Classics will also release the film on DVD and Blu-ray on March 3.
