The Chance Theater is pleased to kick off its 2010 season with Stephen Sondheim's fascinating musical Merrily We Roll Along February 4 - March 7. This time-defying, Tony-nominated classic - most famously revered for its 1994 off-Broadway revival and West End productions - offers a lively journey through the milestones in the lives of three friends.
On a roof top in West Side Manhattan, Frank, Mary, and Charley watch as Sputnik flashes across the sky heralding the dawn of a new era. With all the idealism and exuberance of youth, these three friends look forward to a promising future. The trio do grow up to realize their goals, but they may have paid a greater price than they anticipated.Beginning in the mid-1970s and traveling backwards to the time of the space race in the late 1950s, Merrily We Roll Along takes audiences on a tuneful trip through the rivalries, jealousies, triumphs and failures of three musical colleagues to uncover how they got "here" from "there". Featuring such classics as "Not A Day Goes By," "Old Friends," "Good Thing Going" and, of course, "Merrily We Roll Along," this musical fable takes a behind-the-scenes look at the Broadway dream.Preview
