Both side-splitting and hopelessly romantic, SCROOGE IN LOVE! is the per-fect holiday show for the whole family—and now a cherished San Francisco tradition!

When a commoner finds he’s eighth in line for an Earldom, he begins fiendishly plotting to move to the top of the heap. With a sparkling score and a crack ensemble cast, this Guide is part comedy of manners and part music hall romp—you’ll be dying of laughter.

One of the greatest scores of Broadway’s Golden Age, THE PAJAMA GAME is full of immortal standards, plus a story that continues to resonate with audiences: workplace romance, clashes between management and labor, and the great middle-class struggle to do more than just get by. Add to that the early choreographic genius of Bob Fosse, and you’re in for an evening of love, laughter, and some of musical theatre’s greatest songs.

MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG

The 1981 Musical – Presented in Repertory with the 1934 Play

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by George Furth
Based on the Original Play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart
Director Dennis Lickteig
Music Director David Möschler
Choreographer Rick Wallace

A nakedly emotional cautionary tale of friendship told in reverse, MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG is legendary. We follow three best friends from their wayward middle age back to their idealistic youth as they find out where they took a wrong turn. At its heart is a rousing, ingeniously backward Sondheim score—his most classically “Broadway” in feel. Merrily is a heartbreaking and exhilarating journey to recapture the hope of our youth.

Director Daren A.C. Carollo

Playwright Richard Niles is in crisis: he’s sold his soul, his integrity, and his dearest friendships for comfort and material success. One of the most ambitious undertakings of the writing team that brought the world YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU, THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, and OF THEE I SING, MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG is told in reverse, examining the motives and mores of the glittering art world between the Great War and the Great Depression.

Since the beginning of the American musical theatre, composers and librettists have looked to great plays for their source material. In our two most recent seasons alone, Moon has presented shows adapted from classics like Eugene O’Neill’s Anna Christie (New Girl in Town) and N. Richard Nash’s The Rainmaker (110 in the Shade).
Beginning with MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG, 42nd Street Moon’s BACK TO BACK SERIES will present classic musicals in repertory with the plays they’re based on. Audiences will be able to compare the language and structure of the original to its musical descendant and hear the monologues and dialogues that were transformed into song. We’re excited to give our audiences this one-of-a-kind experience!

In what may be the most ambitious venture in our history, 42nd Street Moon is announcing our commitment to be the first theatre company ever to produce every single professional stage show by legendary composer Stephen Sondheim.
THE SONDHEIM SWEEP will present his works, both lauded and obscure, either in production or in concert, for every season henceforward, from his first musical out of college (last season’s Saturday Night), to his most recent (Road Show), to whatever he comes up with next…
We look forward to honoring the reigning master of the musical form for many years to come!
