It’s not easy to come by tickets for the latest Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim’s “Merrily We Roll Along.”
Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, Lindsay Mendez, and a who’s who of beloved stage veterans, “Merrily” quickly sent theater fans into a tailspin trying to snatch up tickets for its run at the Hudson Theatre starting Sept. 19.
Not bad for a show that flopped when it originally opened on Broadway in 1981.
Things have clearly changed though.
So, if you want to see Sondheim’s ahead-of-its-time musical recounting the troubled friendship between composer Franklin Shepard and his two lifelong comrades — writer Mary and lyricist/playwright Charley — you can grab tickets now.
Tickets are available for select performances and not nearly as expensive as when the show was off-Broadway.
At the time of publication, tickets start at $170 before fees on Vivid Seats.
That’s quite a bit cheaper than when the show ran off-Broadway; back then, the best price we found was over $1400 before fees.
All prices are subject to fluctuation.
