The rich and famous Franklin Shepard, is a influential songwriter and film producer and the world is his oyster...or is it? Is he merely a once-talented Broadway composer who abandoned friends and morals in pursuit of the specious spark of fame? Filled with instantly-recognizable Sondheim classics, including “Not a Day Goes By” and “Old Friends,” Merrily We Roll Along is a thoughtful, thought-provoking look at fame and the price we pay to achieve it.

Emerson’s production is directed by Scott LaFeber and will run from April 23-25, at the Cutler Majestic Theatre (219 Tremont Street, Boston 02116) at Emerson College.
