The Merrily We Roll Along documentary, which disappeared from Netflix, will be back on platforms such as Amazon, according to the internet. Do we believe it? I will happily pay for it.


What I want to know is, who is TweetyPie1?

I think it's worth buying in case they ever pull it off from streaming. I bought this documentary from Amazon Prime back in October 2017 for $7.99 and even though it's not available for streaming right now, I can still watch it from my Amazon Prime account. Back in January I had a few friends over at my place and we watched the documentary after watching the show off-broadway.

I find it absolutely amazing that they were trying to do this documentary WITHOUT that documentary footage - and then they actually found it and well, it makes the entire documentary a must see and not just one of the best theatre documentaries or even documentaries I've ever seen, but one of my favourite pieces of art. As people used to say when it was released, this documentary is kind of the best production of Merrily We Roll Along ever done lol (that was before the upcoming revival). Talk about life imitating art (not really sure if I've even used the expression correctly). 

As an aside, I was at Marie's Crisis recently and I THINK I actually saw Lonny Price there! I was too afraid to say anything, of course. With the obvious caveat that it's impossible to really know how someone is unless you know them, he seems like a great guy. 


"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022) "Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009) "Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
