PUTNEY-The smash Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along has just closed, so Wild Goose Players is bringing the show to Next Stage Arts from Nov. 1 through 10 at a fraction of the price.
The Wild Goose production features a 15-person ensemble, directed by David Stern with music direction by Ken Olsson.
"This groundbreaking musical traces the dissolving (more like exploding) friendship of three besties, but in this exploration, time moves backward," according to a news release. "We open at a party where the last fraying fibers of connection are violently cut, and slowly reveal, as the clock rewinds, the beauty that was their friendship years before." Sondheim was at the height of his popularity when he crafted the score and lyrics that "guide us through the struggles of modern life and the choices we make.," say organizers.
Performances of Merrily We Roll Along will be Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 2 and 7:30 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. The running time is approximately 2 hours, 30 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission.
