New York Theatre Workshop has announced Daniel Radcliffe will star as Charley in its upcoming revival of Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along, planned for late 2022.
Completing its 2022-2023 season, Olivier winner Maria Friedman will direct and Tim Jackson will choreograph the musical featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by George Furth. Merrily We Roll Along is based on the original play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart.
Told in reverse chronological order, the musical explores the relationships between composer Franklin Shepard and his lifelong friends Charley, a lyricist and playwright; and Mary, a writer, across three decades. The musical features the Sondheim favorites “Old Friends,” “Now You Know,” “Franklin Shepard, Inc.,” “Good Thing Going,” and “Not A Day Goes By.”
No word on the rest of the cast as of yet. Date will be listed when it is announced.
