UPDATE: The highly anticipated filmed version of the Tony-winning musical, Merrily We Roll Along, is set to hit theaters TOMORROW, December 5, 2025. This is an extraordinary opportunity for Broadway enthusiasts to experience the acclaimed revival on the big screen!
The production, which ran from September 2023 to July 2024 at the Hudson Theatre, features an all-star cast including Lindsay Mendez, Jonathan Groff, and Daniel Radcliffe. Groff portrays the ambitious Frank Shepard, a film producer who grapples with his past friendships, while Radcliffe plays his disillusioned best friend, Charley Kringas. Mendez shines as Mary Flynn, a theater critic descending into alcoholism.
This revival has made waves, breaking records and selling out shows, despite the original 1981 production being a financial flop. The success led Sony Pictures Classics to collaborate with Fathom Entertainment to bring this filmed adaptation to theaters across the U.S., UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and more.
For fans wondering about streaming options, Merrily We Roll Along is currently NOT available on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. The only way to watch this musical masterpiece right now is in theaters. However, insiders suggest that streaming options will become available in the future, with a tentative timeline pointing to early 2026 for Netflix.
Why does this matter? This is a rare chance to enjoy Broadway’s magic from the comfort of a movie theater, especially given the production’s emotional depth and stellar performances. The show’s unique narrative style unfolds backward, allowing audiences to witness the evolution of the characters’ lives and friendships over time.
If you want to experience this theatrical triumph, search for a showing near you via Fandango and secure your tickets NOW! Don’t miss out on what could be a once-in-a-lifetime event!
For those who prefer the convenience of home viewing, you may be able to purchase or rent the film on digital platforms like Amazon Prime Video after its theatrical run. However, free streaming with a Prime subscription won’t be available anytime soon.
