The National Youth Music Theatre production of Merrily We Roll Along has been announced for Southwark Playhouse Elephant.
Stephen Sondheim’s semi-autobiographical musical turns back the clock on friendship and the high price of success.

Sondheim and George Furth expertly blend the excitement and energy of a backstage musical with a poignant and emotional contemporary story about the importance of staying true to one’s ideals.
Featuring direction by Katherine Hare, musical direction by Leigh Thompson, choreography by Julia Cave, set & costume design by Libby Todd, lighting design by Aaron Dootson and sound design by Tom Marshall.
The production is supported by The Stephen Sondheim Society.
