Merrily we roll along by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth


I really enjoyed this musical despite its shortcomings.  The Sondheim music is fantastic and the story is engrossing.  This New York Times review summarizes the problems the show has.  I disagree with much of the criticism.  As an older person who lived through most of the reverse-chronological events in the show, I felt very nostalgic and swept back into the 1950s, 60's, 70's, and 80's.  I recommend the show to anyone over 50, 3/5 stars.
