Merrily We Roll Along Wins Tony Award for Best Revival
Acclaimed Revival of Sondheim and Furth's Musical Triumphs
London Revival Revives Broadway Flop
New York, June 16, 2024 - Merrily We Roll Along, the 1981 musical that famously flopped on Broadway, has made a triumphant return, winning the 2024 Tony Award for Best Revival.
The acclaimed revival, which starred Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez, was led by director Maria Friedman. The musical, which charts the tumultuous relationships between three friends in the entertainment industry over three decades, has long been considered one of the most storied flops in Broadway history.
The Tony Award for Best Revival is awarded annually to the best production of a previously produced musical. Merrily We Roll Along beat out four other nominees for the award: Company, Funny Girl, Into the Woods, and Parade.
The Tony Award win is a major triumph for Merrily We Roll Along and its creative team. It is a testament to the power of theater to both entertain and move audiences, even decades after its initial debut.
