Merrily We Roll Along: More ★★★★★ Than Any West End Musical In History!

Posted on May 3, 2013 | By London Theatre Direct

Merrily We Roll Along: The fantastic production at the Harold Pinter Theatre.

Triple Olivier Award-winner Maria Friedman makes a thrilling directorial debut with this vibrant, full scale production and exceptional cast led by Mark Umbers, Jenna Russell and Damian Humbley.

An emotionally charged journey through the lives of three very dear friends, MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG winds back in time, exploring how the choices we make in life can change everything and everyone we love.

This Sondheim classic is a refreshing addition to the West End from the acclaimed Menier Chocolate Factory, following its collection of hugely successful transfers: Sunday in the Park with George; La Cage aux Folles and Sweet Charity.

'It is, make no mistake, one of the great musical productions of this or any era.’
