Movie Preview: “Merrily We Roll Along” Sondheim Song and Dances its way onto screen

A filmed stage musical that benefits from casting Daniel Radcliffe as one of the leads, this beloved Stephen Sondheim musical finally earns a big screen release from Sony Pictures Classics and Fathom Entertainment just in time for the holidays (Dec. 5).

It’s an early ’80s musical from the American Master Sondheim and is based on a Moss Hart play from the ’30s, and follows three characters whose close relationship “devolves” over the years.

I’ve seen it on the stage. Reminded me of “Company,” and in mostly good ways.
