Merrily We Roll Along 2012

Fresh from her directorial debut of the Chocolate Factory's smash hit production of 'Merrily We Roll Along', three-time Olivier Award-winner Maria Friedman sings 'Lenny & Steve' at The Pheasantry for just six performances.

Before the well-loved musical that is Merrily We Roll Along by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth, there was the original play, written in 1934 by George S Kaufman and Moss Hart. Although rarely revived, the play was the inspiration for Sondheim and Furth's piece. Focusing on the lifelong friendship of three characters, the play tells their story in reverse time, from 1934 to 1916, and is a poignant and bittersweet reflection of life, love and loss.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Menier Chocolate Factory's current production of Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along will transfer to the West End's Harold Pinter Theatre in April.

Merrily We Roll Along at the Menier Chocolate Factory announced today that it will now be booking through the 9th March 2013.
