Merrily From Center Stage recalls a very specific time in 1981 when the legendary musical theater team of Hal Prince, Stephen Sondheim and George Furth were creating Merrily We Roll Along for Broadway. Through the eyes of Ann Morrison’s award-winning character, Mary Flynn, her solo musical describes, ingeniously, the story of that time, only in her unique (and uniquely individual) way. What she and Musical Director John Shirley have done is take all of those memories, deconstruct them, reconstruct them, and then layer in the original Merrily score, also de- and re- constructed, to tell what becomes a richly layered, dramatically and emotionally satisfying tale of triumph.

Honored with the 2023 Bistro Award for Outstanding Solo Musical.


A solo musical based on the memories of Ann’s award winning, Broadway debut as Marry Flynn in the 1981 Stephen Sondheim musical, Merrily We Roll Along.
