I'm sorry, but no. The original 1934 Kaufman and Hart play set the conceit for going in reverse order (this was not some random decision by the musical's team), and that's how the story is constructed. If you play it forwards in time, it would be a different property. That's when you write another show entirely, and call it something else. But it wouldn't be Merrily We Roll Along if it went forward in time. Like it or not.
I recently saw a production of the opera La Boheme with the order of the acts reversed. Likewise, they should have given the production a completely new title. It wasn't La Boheme. I'm not sure what the hell it was, but it wasn't Boheme. |
