Sondheim's’Classic Musical 'Merrily We Roll Along'

---

Presented by the Cygnet Players at Putney Arts Theatre

Cygnet Players are to perform George Furth and Stephen Sondheim's classic musical, Merrily We Roll Along.

Franklin Shepard is a rich, famous, and influential songwriter and film producer. As the years roll back over 20 years of his life, we see his journey from penniless composer to wealthy producer, and what he sacrificed to get there.

With a brilliant score and the deep insight expected from any Sondheim endeavour, Merrily We Roll Along is a spirited and moving cautionary tale for anyone who has ever pursued a dream.

This cult favourite musical features some of Sondheim’s most beautiful songs, including “Good Thing Going,” “Old Friends,” and “Not a Day Goes By”. The West End production won the Olivier Award for best musical in 2001, and the 2012 revival won best musical in the Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards. Cygnet Players’ production is directed by Zoë Dobell, with Aimee Parnell as Assistant Director and Mark Stanford as Musical Director.

The show runs from Tuesday, 4 September to Saturday, 8 September at Putney Arts Theatre, Ravenna Road, Putney, SW15 6AW. Performances are nightly at 7.45pm with a 2.30pm Saturday matinee.
