81: Critics LIVE! - Merrily We Roll Along (Off-Broadway Revival, 2022)

The Unauthorized Critics Circle

Would you believe it - New York Theatre Workshop has room for a cast of twenty-three, ten musicians, Jonathan Groff's perfectly spherical ass, and our two co-hosts! No wonder it felt so cramped. Daniel and Joshua break the cardinal rule of at least two Stephen Sondheim musicals (never look back!) and reflect upon the Broadway-bound production of Merrily We Roll Along. With a production that's British but still worth seeing, in this episode our hosts give you the revelations of this production, some theories related to its initial demise, a very brief Harry Styles joke, and possibly the funniest opening gag they've done so far.

Tune in next time when we talk about Show Boat; specifically, the 2014 pro-shot recording from the San Francisco Opera.
