Merrily We Roll Along at The Colony Theatre

4Leaf Music Productions in association with Golden Performing Arts Center proudly presents "Merrily We Roll Along", Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's thrilling and compelling cautionary tale about friendship, compromise and the high price of success. The story begins in the present and moves backwards, tracing the lives of wealthy, jaded composer, Franklin Shepard, and his two estranged friends, Charley Kringas and Mary Flynn, through each milestone of their personal and professional lives. Merrily We Roll Along crackles with the wit, humor and intensity that embody the spirit of New York City. With a brilliant "Broadway-style" score and that deep insight one expects from any Sondheim endeavor. (Edited story background courtesy of MTI International.)
