For decades MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG was the Sondheim musical that never worked on Broadway. No longer! Here Josh chats with the amazing trio of actors who have turned this show into a beloved hit, Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez. It's a conversation filled with a ton of laughter and a lot of tears (mostly from Jonathan). #happysadconfused #joshhorowitz #merrilywerollalong #danielradcliffe #jonathangroff

I saw Merrily and it's excellent - and I'm not even a Sondheim fan.

Saw Merrily a few weeks ago, got spit on by Jonathan and love him to death. Can't wait to catch Take out Bags in the far future!

Jon Groff is adorably chaotic and the chemistry between the 3 of them is crazy!

34:30 The Alan Rickman clip is so sweet! Dan looked genuinely moved. Never knew Alan went to see all of Dan's stage shows and supported his acting training so much. RIP to a true great.

Daniel Radcliffe's evolution as an actor has been so fascinating to watch! Would love to be able to see him on stage. Hope he does theatre in London again someday! With choreography!

34:30 you can see the emotion is still raw for Dan even after all these years. Alan Rickman was a uniquely special man & actor - the world’s a darker place without him in it 🙏🏻❤️

Wow. I had the great privilege of seeing this in February, and I felt exactly what Jonathan was sharing when he said that he tries to communicate with the audience this need to protect this innocence inside of us..this optimism for sweet friendship and camaraderie throughout life. Steven Sater recently articulated that, in this show, you see Jonathan turn back into 21-year old Jonathan as Melchior singing "You Watch Me" in Spring Awakening, and that was the show I first saw Jonathan act in..and it just all brought it home for me. This trio is a dream. This show was so moving

regarding Groff's spitting onstage. Me and a friend were "recipients" of said sit at the Atlantic Theater when we saw Spring Awakening there. We were in the second row. It's real!! lol

@katha2301 Ай бұрын

Loved this, amazing questions as always Josh! Only thing that I noticed were a lot of fast cuts whenever someone new is talking/reacting. I feel like in a group this big it would be nicer for watching with less switching around becaus this way sometimes it felt like we were missing the reactions to what someone else has said.

25:47 Actually, Daniel also gets carried at least once in Harry Potter (Hagrid in Deathly Hallows Part 2 comes to mind). Has he always... been carried in every role?

What chemistry!!! They have a way of making you feel like you are a part of their friendship. It’s truly beautiful. I hope they get to do more together in the future! I’d love to see a film adaptation!!

@loonylaura85 Ай бұрын

That's happening already but not with these guys. Richard Linklater is directing & I think Paul Mescal & Beanie Feldstein are in it & they're making over a 20 year period.

I think it's Richard Linklater who's doing one & I think Paul Mescal & Beanie Feldstein have been cast in it. They're doing it over 20 years, though, so we won't be seeing it any time soon.
