media release: Stoughton Village Players is thrilled to present Merrily We Roll Along, Stephen Sondheim's beloved musical. Set in the intimate Stoughton Village Players Theater, this production, directed by Timothy S. Riley, a seasoned director of SVP and many Madison productions, captures the essence of George Furth's story with heart and passion. The story follows three friends navigating the highs and lows of their dreams and careers from present to past. The audience will be treated to a delightful, yet thought-provoking experience, highlighting the unforgettable score that made Sondheim a legend.

While the show is known for its famously troubled Broadway run in 1981, it has recently enjoyed a resurgence, with a successful revival on Broadway in 2023 starring Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez. SVP's production brings the same level of sincerity and dedication, inviting the community to connect with the timeless themes of ambition, regret, and the passage of time.
