Book NowAbout the show
Merrily We Roll Along is a musical by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth, presented by Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group (EUSOG) at The Sanctuary during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Told ingeniously in reverse, the show follows three estranged best friends navigating the highs and lows of their careers in the world of Broadway. Carried by one of Sondheim's best scores, the production runs for 155 minutes and is suitable for ages 12 and over. Contains distressing themes, scenes of violence and strong language.
Why see this show?
EUSOG takes on one of Sondheim's most emotionally complex musicals — a show that gains power from running backwards through its characters' lives. A rich score and a bold structural choice make this one to catch.
