"It is always a celebration of creativity and joy when we bring the work of Stephen Sondheim to our stages and community,” said Zoetic Stage Artistic Director Stuart Meltzer. “Merrily We Roll Along demonstrates Sondheim's incredible use of lyrics: language surrounded by a gorgeous score, reminding us all to never let go of our dreams."


Merrily We Roll Along tells the story of Frank Shepard, a famous songwriter and eventual film producer, and his two closest friends. Moving backwards across 20 years, the show details Frank's rise from a penniless dreamy-eyed composer to a wealthy film-producing sell-out, and what he lost to get there.


The production features an all-local cast featuring award-winning actors from across South Florida, and stars Carbonell Award winner Alex Jorth as Frank Shepard, John Reed as Charlie Klingas and Joline Mujica as Mary Flynn. The production also features Leah Sessa, Lindsey Corey, Justin Packard, Sara Grant, Irene Adjan, Wayne LeGette, Joel Rodriguez and Kalen Edean.
