Merrily We Roll Along (2025)

Coming December 5th, 2025

The Tony Award-winning Broadway revival of Merrily We Roll Along comes to the big screen in a stunning new film directed by Maria Friedman. Based on the musical by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth, the story traces the disintegration of a decades-long friendship between composer Franklin Shepard and his two closest collaborators—writer Charley Kringas and novelist Mary Flynn. Told in reverse chronological order, the film peels back the layers of time to reveal how ambition, choices, and missed connections reshape their lives and relationships. Featuring powerhouse performances by Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez, this cinematic adaptation is far more than a traditional stage capture. With dynamic editing, intimate camerawork, and a bold visual style, Friedman’s direction brings new emotional clarity to Sondheim’s score and Furth’s book.

Packed with beloved songs like “Old Friends,” “Not a Day Goes By,” and “Franklin Shepard, Inc.,” the film offers a fresh and moving experience of one of musical theater’s most poignant and resonant works.
