Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened is the must-see chronicle of Stephen Sondheim and Harold Prince's much ballyhooed reverse chronology musical Merrily We Roll Along which closed after just 16 performances in 1981 but gradually assumed legend status. This alternately heartbreaking and euphoric film focuses on the original cast members, then and now, and the special place this experience holds in their memories.
The film has its world premiere on October 9, 2016 at the New York Film Festival. Just last night, some of Broadway's best gathered for a special screening and BroadwayWorld was there. Check out photos from the red carpet below!
Best Worst Thing... will be released theatrically on Friday, November 18 in New York City at Film Society of Lincoln Center's Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center (144 W. 65th Street) as well as the IFC Center (323 6th Avenue); and on Friday, November 25 in Los Angeles at Laemmle's Royal Theatre (1523 Santa Monica Blvd.).
