| While I did not see the original Broadway production, I consider myself lucky that in 1985 my alma mater, University of Bridgeport (1983), had a Sondheim celebration which he attended for a panel discussion. As part of the week, the theater department performed Merrily We Roll Along. This followed the Original Cast album, which I knew intimately, with the graduation bookends, Hills of Tomorrow, Rich and Happy, etc. I've since seen Encores and Fiasco but will always remember this as the best and would love to see that original version done again. |
