Merrily We Roll Along is a musical that charts the life of three high school friends, each determined to become luminaries in the performing arts, and follows their successes and failures. The novel aspect of the show is that it tells the story in reverse time. It begins late in their lives, when two of the three have glittering careers, and then regressing decade by decade, it shows us the right and wrong decisions they made along the way. It is a strong and touching story of the compromises we all make as our lives unfold.
