What’s it about?

Every Brilliant Thing is an exhilarating and heartwarming play, in which a man looks back at his life and the glimmers of hope that carried him through. All told through a list of every wonderful, beautiful, and delightful thing—big, small, and everything in between—that makes life worth living. This one-of-a-kind solo show, which has been performed across the globe in over 80 countries on stages of all sizes—and for an HBO Special starring co-creator Jonny Donahoe—makes its long-awaited Broadway premiere following a hit season @sohoplace in London’s West End, where it is currently running with Minnie Driver through November 8. The play’s five-star reviews include The Telegraph declaring it, “a life-affirming show that is just the tonic we need,” with The Times of London hailing it as an “extraordinary, shattering, and beautiful” experience, “rich with theatrical innovation. Built with the collaboration of audience and performer, it is a truly brilliant thing. I wrote this with tears in my eyes.” The Observer deemed it “unmissable,” and Time Out described the play as “filled to the brim with joy. Beautiful, heart wrenching, and very funny.”

The 33rd Hamptons International Film Festival will close with the world premiere of Maria Friedman’s filmed stage version of the Tony Award-winning musical “Merrily We Roll Along,” starring Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez.

Friedman, who directed the adaptation, will attend the screening alongside cast members on Sunday, October 12, in East Hampton.

Spanning three decades, “Merrily We Roll Along” explores the complicated friendship between composer Franklin Shepard and his two longtime collaborators, writer Mary and lyricist-playwright Charley. Originally produced on Broadway in 1981, the show gained cult-classic status over the years, featuring some of Stephen Sondheim’s most personal and celebrated songs.

The festival, which runs October 3 to 13, will also present a wide slate of Centerpiece, Spotlight, narrative, documentary and shorts screenings, along with artist tributes and programming that highlights the forefront of contemporary cinema.

Tonia Davis, Will Graham and Max Linsky are opening the doors to Invitation Media, a new multiplatform production company.

The group starts with a first-look TV deal at Amazon MGM Studios and an upcoming film – the Vietnam War thriller Trust the Man with Daniel Radcliffe and Lucas Hedges — as well as an audio partnership with the Washington Post. Graham is directing Trust the Man and also producing with Davis and Linsky.

Is the highly anticipated filmed version of the Tony Award-winning revival Merrily We Roll Along is set to hit movie theaters this winter? According to the AMC Theaters wesbite, the proshot will premiere in movie theaters nationwide on December 5, 2025.

Chatting exclusively to the WhatsOnStage Podcast, Sonia Friedman revealed her excitement about the forthcoming release of the Broadway capture of Merrily We Roll Along. 

Acquired by Sony Pictures earlier this year, it is being described as an “immersive film” that ”showcases brilliant and groundbreaking direction by Maria Friedman, illuminating the amazing performances up close and personal, unlike anything audiences have ever seen before.”

Told backward, Merrily We Roll Along tracks the friendship of Franklin Shepard (Jonathan Groff), Charles Kringas (Daniel Radcliffe), and Mary Flynn (Lindsay Mendez) from jaded middle-age to dreamy early adulthood.
