Photo Coverage: Original Company of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG Reunites for Lonny Price's New Documentary

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 just had its world premiere at the 54th New York Film Festival yesterday, October 9 at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall (1941 Broadway). BroadwayWorld was there for the special night and you can check out photos from the red carpet below!

Following its upcoming world premiere at the New York Film Festival, 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.).
