Take a First Look at Merrily We Roll Along Cast Portraits

The highly anticipated Encores! production of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s Merrily We Roll Along is almost here, and we've got your first look at Peter Cunningham's official portraits of "old friends" Colin Donnell (Franklin Shepard), Lin-Manuel Miranda (Charley Kringus) and Celia Keenan-Bolger (Mary Flynn), plus Betsy Wolfe as Franklin's wife, Beth. Merrily We Roll Along moves backward in time from 1980 to 1955, examining the lives of a trio of smart, ambitious people whose friendship is tested by time, events and fate. This limited engagement, directed by James Lapine, runs at New York City Center February 8 to 19. Click through this gallery to get excited about seeing Broadway favorites tackling vintage Sondheim!
