Feb 4 - Mar 7 at Chance Theater

How did we get here from there? 1976, 1975, 1974... 1957!
On a roof top in West Side Manhattan, three friends watch as Sputnik flashes across the sky heralding the dawn of a new era. With all the idealism and exuberance of youth, they look forward to a promising future. Frank, Mary, and Charley do grow up to realize their goals, but may have paid a greater price than they anticipated. Beginning in the mid-70s and traveling backwards to the time of the space race, Merrily We Roll Along takes us on a tuneful trip through the rivalries, jealousies, triumphs and failures of these three musical colleagues to uncover how they got here from there. Featuring such classics as Not A Day Goes By, Old Friends, Good Thing Going and, of course, Merrily We Roll Along, this musical fable takes a behind-the-scenes look at the Broadway dream.
