- “Sony Pictures Classics is the perfect home for our film. From the very beginning, they felt what we felt—that MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG is, at its core, a universal story about friendship: how it changes, how it lasts, and how it shapes who we become. This isn’t just a stage production captured on film—it’s something more intimate. The camera lets us see every flicker of feeling, every quiet shift, in a way that brings audiences closer than ever. Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's work has never felt so personal. Steve was a dear and lifelong friend and bringing MERRILY to the screen has been a deeply personal journey. When I first directed the show, I wanted to find its emotional truth—and that stayed with us all the way through to this film. Sony Pictures Classics understands how to share something this tender and meaningful with the world. Their care and passion will ensure this version of Merrily honours Steve and George in the way they deserve,” adds Director Maria Friedman. 2025-04-13
