Merrily We Roll Along is a musical with a book by George Furth and lyrics and music by Stephen Sondheim. It is based on the 1934 play of the same name by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. Furth and Sondheim retained the basic structure and overall tone of the play but updated it to encompass the period from 1957 to 1976. The plot focuses on Franklin Shepard, who, in 1976, is a one-time composer of Broadway musicals who has become a highly successful but cynical and jaded film producer who has lost his friends, Charley Kringas (also long-time collaborator) and Mary Flynn. Like the play, the musical moves backwards in time showing how Frank has become the man he is today. The musical closed on Broadway after only 16 performances in 1981 and marked the end of the Harold Prince-Sondheim collaborations until Bounce in 2003. It's considered a Cult Classic by some people, and has seen occasional revivals, as well as becoming the subject of the documentary Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened.In 2019, Richard Linklater announced that he would be making a film adaptation, and will film the 20 years covered in the story in real time, much like how he made Boyhood. Production is scheduled to wrap up in 2039 at the earliest. The cast is headlined by Paul Mescal as Franklin, Ben Platt as Charley, and Beanie Feldstein as Mary.In 2023, the show was revived on Broadway for the first time to critical acclaim, starring Jonathan Groff as Frank, Daniel Radcliffe as Charley, and Tony Award winner Lindsay Mendez as Mary, and directed by Maria Friedman, who previously directed the show in London in 2013.

Became Their Own Antithesis: "Rich and Happy" / "That Frank" use a debased quotation from "Our Time" ("It's my time, coming through") to show how Frank has gone against all his ideals.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: In the original play, the anti-hero's Deadpan Snarker writer friend Julia was based on Dorothy Parker. This is downplayed with Mary, her counterpart in the musical (though she is partially based on Sondheim's friend Mary Rodgers).

The Ghost
 Merrily We Roll Along (Theatre) / int_1ba17583
comment
The Ghost: Throughout the show, Charley mentions his wife, Evelyn, but she never appears. This serves as a Brick Joke during "Our Time", when Mary joins Charley and Frank on the roof and says her roommate was supposed to join her to see Sputnik. When her roommate finally arrives, she is embarrassed when she sees Mary with men and she is in her nighty. When Mary calls after her, she says, "Evelyn!" Right after, as if speaking to the audience, she says, "That's Evelyn."

Framing Device
 Merrily We Roll Along (Theatre) / int_1e1afc1b
comment
Framing Device: The original Broadway production began with an older Frank (played by the only person in the cast over the age of thirty) coming back to his old high school to deliver a speech where he tells the graduating students to give up on their dreams and face life as it is. Rejecting his advice, the students sing the title song and proceed to act out his life in reverse to show how he went wrong. The show ends with a Hope Spot where adult Frank smiles at and reconnects with his younger self. When the creators rewrote the show after it closed on Broadway, they dropped the framing device and only a few productions since then have restored it. Maria Friedman's conception of the show, originated in London in 2013 and brought to Broadway a decade later, frames the show as a Flashback Frank has after his premiere party goes off the rails: the entire show takes place within his house in California, with only minor set decorations being changed around to suggest different locations as he goes further back in his memory.

Nouveau Riche: Gussie's first chronological appearance is as a shy, modestly-dressed receptionist working for Joe; in many productions she has a strong working class accent. By the time she introduces herself properly to Frank at a party, she's changed her look significantly, adopted a refined mid-atlantic accent, a high fashion sense, and a larger-than-life demeanor.

comment
The Eleven O'Clock Number: Played with, "Opening Doors" shows Frank, Charley and Mary working on trying to get their start in the business, but given that the show runs in reverse, it would actually be one of the first songs chronologically. On the same level while its one of the first songs featured in the score, chronologically "Old Friend" in which Mary tries to smooth out the conflict between Frank and Charley, pining for how it used to be between the three, would be this.

Left It In: While auditioning an earlier version of “Good Thing Going� for Joe Josephson, Charley sings “They’re always popping their cork�, which he appends with “I’ll fix that line�. Cut to auditions for Frank and Charley’s revue and that line is still there. Eventually averted when the final version of “Good Thing Going� is performed.

Break the Cutie: A lot of it is their own choices, and we see the broken versions first, but Frank starts out Endearingly Dorky and ends up a rich, self-loathing asshole, Gussie's Large Ham becomes violently bitter, Mary goes from an idealistic teetotaller to spending her life drinking, and Beth is a trusting Genki Girl at first then wanting to kill Frank after he cheats. Charley is the only one who keeps his ethics, but even he has a breakdown on air.

Remarried to the Mistress: Frank's first marriage fell apart because of infidelity. He married his mistress/leading lady... and when the play starts he's been cheating on her, too.

Never My Fault: While Mary is enabling and Charley is self-righteous, and both those have responsibility in how things turned out, Frank in later (read: earlier) scenes continually plays the victim card, acting like he's completely justified in selling out and they're just bitter.

When You Coming Home, Dad?: In the first presented scene, Mary reminds Frank that he's just missed his son's graduation to work on a film he doesn't even like. The last scene before intermission shows that Frank, once upon a time, dearly loved his son and was heartbroken to lose custody in the divorce.

Dramatic Irony
 Merrily We Roll Along (Theatre) / int_ab5eea65
comment
Dramatic Irony: A corollary of the Back to Front structure - whenever the audience sees the characters' relationships developing or at a turning point, we've already seen them go wrong. Especially strong and poignant during "Our Time", an inspiring and optimistic song in the last (or first) scene when Frank and Charley meet Mary for the first time and they reflect on how their generation will change the world.

You Owe Me: Alex, he hostess of the television show in the second (presented) scene, is calling in a big favor that Frank, currently famous, owes her. In the last scene before Intermission, we see what that favor was. Years ago, when Alex was a gossip reporter and Frank's first divorce was in progress, her attendant photographer snapped a great photo of Frank and his son reaching for each other. Frank's son was taken away; bereft, Frank begged Alex to not use that photo. She agreed, but said, "You owe me a favor."

Devoted to You: Frank. Mary is immovably in love with him for their entire friendship, even when he shows no romantic interest in her and treats her increasingly worse the more successful he gets. Beth sings an entire song about how she’ll always love him even after they’re divorced and hate each other. Some productions play Charley up as being in love with Frank also, despite him having just as much reason to give up on him as Mary.

Mirror Character: Frank and Gussie. Both are brought up from nothing by people with more clout and influence than them (Joe in Gussie's case and Gussie in Frank's), both completely change their demeanor, style, and careers to pursue a glamorous life of showbusiness, both are serial monogamists who can't seem to stay faithful or happy in their relationships, and both end up unhappy and alienated even though they're married and successful.

Hope Spot
 Merrily We Roll Along (Theatre) / int_c3c18143
comment
The original Broadway production began with an older Frank (played by the only person in the cast over the age of thirty) coming back to his old high school to deliver a speech where he tells the graduating students to give up on their dreams and face life as it is. Rejecting his advice, the students sing the title song and proceed to act out his life in reverse to show how he went wrong. The show ends with a Hope Spot where adult Frank smiles at and reconnects with his younger self. When the creators rewrote the show after it closed on Broadway, they dropped the framing device and only a few productions since then have restored it.

"Ray of Hope" Ending: Many productions of the show end Our Time with Franklin picking up his compositions as if he had just rediscovered them, suggesting that Franklin himself experienced his memories with the audience and reconnected with what was important to him when he started. His life is likely still a complete mess, but having rediscovered his passion offers hope that it isn't too late to correct his course.

Ambiguously Gay: A lot of actors will play Charley like Mary isn't the only one in love with Frank. A frequent joke will have some characters looking unsure when they sing "A son who's straight," in "That Frank." Frank himself mentions having to get coaching after getting caught in a raid on the nighclub he plays at. Given that he lived in Greenwich village at that point, it's all but explicitly stating that he frequented gay-friendly nightclubs.

Sanity Slippage Song: Downplayed - "Franklin Shepard Inc." doesn't represent a psychotic break, but it is a meltdown (on national TV, live, no less). Charley is aware enough that he can joke about it — "Get the President! There's a crazy man on my TV screen!" Played straight in that it's a great place for the actor to show off.

Dark Reprise
 Merrily We Roll Along (Theatre) / int_f3fd818b
comment
Dark Reprise: Inverted. Since it moves backward chronologically, songs are reprised first, and then used in full during earlier, happier times. Not A Day Goes By is probably the biggest example of this. Chronologically, it is first sung as Beth and Frank are getting married about how they don't want to ever be apart. The next time it is chronologically sung is by Beth after the divorce about how she can't truly move on from Frank no matter how much she wants to. "Rich and Happy" and its post-Broadway replacement "That Frank" both use "Our Time" in the bridge (mixed in with "The Blob" in the latter song), showing just how much Frank is lying to himself and fallen from those idealistic days of thinking he could do anything. "Franklin Shepherd Inc", Charley's evisceration of Frank for only caring about making money rather than making genuinely good art, is used throughout the background of the first section to "Opening Doors" as a younger Frank and Charley are happily working together to create their musical passion project. Chronologically, "Good Thing Going" starts out life as a jaunty tune about falling in love in Frank and Charley's (unproduced) musical heard in "Opening Doors". The tune ultimately winds up becoming a slow ballad about falling out of love.
