"Merrily We Roll Along" and its long road back to Broadway

At the Hudson Theatre on Broadway, three friends are playing three friends, in a revival of "Merrily We Roll Along," with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.

Jonathan Groff, who drew raves as King George III in "Hamilton," plays composer Franklin Shepard: "He goes from being a super-excited young composer into a marriage, has a child, has a divorce, gets married again, fools around a little bit."

Lindsay Mendez, who won a Tony in 2018 for her role in a revival of "Carousel," is writer Mary Flynn, who has problems – like, being in love with Frank, and drinking too much. "Yeah, yeah, I think those things are a bit related!" Mendez laughed. "Yeah, she's got a bit of unrequited love for him."
