Sony Pictures Classic has acquired the worldwide rights to the film of the recent Broadway revival of Merrily We Roll Along.
The revival, which starred Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez, ran on Broadway last season and won four Tony Awards, including best revival of a musical. The filmed version of the Broadway show is set for a theatrical release, according to a spokesperson.
Maria Friedman directed the revival of the Stephen Sondheim show, which tracks the relationships of the three friends in reverse chronological order, spanning several decades and ending with their meeting in college. Groff and Radcliffe received Tony Awards for their roles in the production, as the composer Franklin Shepard and his friend and playwright Charley, which ran at the Hudson Theatre from October 2023 through July 2024.
