FRIDAY NIGHT: West Seattle High School proudly presents Merrily We Roll Along by Stephen Sondheim: Sondheim’s musical adaptation of the Kaufman and Hart play transforms the story of three successful people looking back on their lost friendship. Frank, Mary, and Charley grew up to realize their dreams and goals, but may have paid a greater price than they anticipated. Frank’s anguished question — “Why?” — begins the journey backwards in time, recalling rivalries, jealousies, triumphs, failures, and loves both unrequited and reciprocal, as the three seek to discover how they got from “there” to “here.” Merrily We Roll Along tells a masterful tale of three remarkable people reflecting on years of aspiration and reality, and dreams both fulfilled and lost. The show continues tonight at 7:30 PM in the WSHS theatre at 3000 California SW. Doors open 1/2 hour earlier. Tickets may be reserved for $5 ahead of time by calling 206-252-8834 or purchased at the door for $10.
