Current Broadway Merrily We Roll Along stars Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez, "old friends" both onstage and off, are making the rounds to get the word out about the Stephen Sondheim musical's recently opened revival, currently playing the Hudson Theatre.
Vanity Fair hooked them up to a lie detector for some truly revealing questions, such as did Radcliffe approve of Groff's English accent in Hamilton, does Lindsay Mendez consider Pedro Pascal a daddy, and does Groff prefer Idina Menzel or Mendez's Elphaba? Watch the surprising results above—and then scroll down for a delightful interview with all three and a gaggle of adorable puppies.
Merrily We Roll Along is back on Broadway for its first-ever Broadway revival, which opened October 10. Read the reviews here. The limited run is set to continue through March 24, 2024.
Back leading the production after starring in the 2022 Off-Broadway run at New York Theatre Workshop are Radcliffe as Charley Kringas, Groff as Franklin Shepard, Mendez as Mary Flynn, Krystal Joy Brown as Gussie Carnegie, Katie Rose Clarke as Beth Shepard, and Reg Rogers as Joe Josephson. Max Rackenberg and Brady Wagner are sharing the role of Frank Jr.

Sondheim's score includes such songs as "Old Friends," "Now You Know," "Franklin Shepard, Inc.," "Good Thing Going," and "Not a Day Goes By."
