The production's success helped recoup its $12 million capitalization by March 2024, and it broke house records at the Hudson Theatre.

Produced by Sonia Friedman and David Babani, the film features a team of executive producers and is a unique standalone project, not just a capture of the stage performance.

The cast includes Tony Award winners Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez, with additional performances by Krystal Joy Brown, Katie Rose Clark, and Reg Rogers, filmed at the Hudson Theatre during its final run in 2024.

The story of 'Merrily We Roll Along' is told in reverse chronological order, focusing on the complex friendship between composer Franklin Shepard and his friends Mary and Charley, with classic Sondheim songs like 'Old Friends' and 'Not a Day Goes By.'

The revival opened on October 10, 2023, and ran until July 7, 2024, significantly elevating the musical's reputation from its original short-lived Broadway run.

Sony Pictures Classics will release the live filmed version of the Broadway musical in theaters starting December 5, 2025, with international dates to follow, marking a major cinematic event.

The film is a high-quality proshot that underwent six months of editing, making it more than just a simple recording—it's a standalone film experience.

The film is a proshot of the acclaimed 2023 Broadway revival of 'Merrily We Roll Along,' which won four Tony Awards in 2024, including Best Revival of a Musical.

The musical explores three decades of the lives of friends in the entertainment industry, set in reverse order, with music by Stephen Sondheim and a book by George Furth.

Friedman expressed pride in the revival, noting that Stephen Sondheim, the original composer, did not live to see the film, but she was proud of its direction.

The original Broadway production was short-lived, with only 16 performances, but the revival became one of Broadway's highest-grossing shows.

The upcoming induction of notable figures like Anne Bogart and Kenny Leon into the Theater Hall of Fame is scheduled for fall 2025 at Broadway's Gershwin Theatre.
