I actually think that Merrily would not work dramatically if told in chronological order. It is very much written so that the origin of behaviors are presented after you've seen the behavior and that's what provides the drama. You're wondering how they got there - not where they are going. One also gets more of a sense of the characters going through that self-reflection in the current production as well. It's really excellent theater.
