Merrily We Roll Along

C too    6 - 31 August @ 21.05    DULOG

A wonderfully talented young cast met the challenge of Sondheim head on with this sharp and professional production. Performed by a company of actor/musicians, Merrily We Roll Along tells the story of Franklin Shepherd, a young man who is at the pinnacle of his career. The musical cleverly goes backwards in time as we see his journey and all the factors that shaped him and made him the success he is now. There are some very strong individual performances but their strength is in the company numbers. This ensemble of gifted musicians and actors present Sondheim’s beautifully constructed score with masterful and confident performances. They use movement and rhythm as well as their instruments and voices to convey the story and move seamlessly from dialogue to song just the way that Sondheim intended.
