Description

One of the truly legendary Broadway musicals Merrily We Roll Along seemed destined for success with Stephen Sondheim and Harold Prince at the helm—only to close after poor reviews and only 16 performances. Fresh off the massive success of Sweeney Todd, Sondheim and Prince knew they had the opportunity to take a creative risk with the audacious and complex Merrily We Roll Along, which has since gone on to attain legendary status. Here, director Lonny Price, who was in the play’s original cast, gathers his fellow castmates together to explore this complicated chapter from their past. With never-before-seen footage of Sondheim and Prince at work, plus appearances from Jason Alexander, Mandy Patinkin and more,Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened is a joyous peek behind the curtain.

Co-presented by Acting Up Stage Company.

Critical praise:

  • Hollywood Reporter - "Electric...Lovingly assembled."
  • Village Voice - "Sure to satisfy."
  • Indiewire - "Poignant...youthful joy."
  • Variety - A nimble documentary made with a personal touch."
