Save on ‘Merrily We Roll Along’ tickets to see Tony-winner Daniel Radcliffe
“Merrily We Roll Along” was already a “surefire, genuine, walk-away blockbuster, lines down to Broadway, boffola, sensational, box office lalapalooza, gargantuan hit” and now it has the Tony Awards to prove it.The first Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s infamous flop (seriously — the original production played just 16 performances in 1981) took home four statuettes at 2024 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical and a long awaited Best Orchestrations award for Jonathan Tunick (Sondheim’s orchestrator of choice, who has never won a Tony for his work with Sondheim before now).Perhaps ‘Merrily’s most triumphant moments at the Tonys were in the acting categories; first, Daniel Radcliffe won his first Tony in the Featured Actor category (and accepted it from future Charley Kringas Ben Platt!), then Jonathan Groff took home his first Tony Award for Best Lead Actor in a Musical. The pair were visibly emotional during each other’s wins, both of which have been a long time in the making.
