Oct. 16 (UPI) —<\/span> Sony Pictures Classics and Fathom Entertainment on Thursday released the first trailer for the filmed version of Broadway production of Merrily, We Roll Along<\/i> ahead of its December arrival in cinemas.<\/p>\n

The Tony-winning musical from Stephen Sondheim and George Furth was filmed toward the end of its run at the Hudson Theatre in New York City for the big-screen offering.<\/p>\n

The musical stars Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez as three friends trying to find success in the entertainment industry over three decades — but told in reverse chronological order. Based on the George S. Kauffman and Moss Hart play, the production was originally staged in 1981 and had a notoriously short run.<\/p>\n

The 2023-24 revival, however, was widely acclaimed and won four Tonys for Radcliffe, Groff, Best Revival of a Musical and Best Orchestration.<\/p>\n

The Broadway production hits theaters Dec. 5.<\/p>\n

Filmmaker Richard Linklater is also working on his own film adaptation of Merrily, We Roll Along<\/i>, which he plans to film over the course of 20 years, similar to his approach with Boyhood<\/i>, which was filmed over 12 years.<\/p>\n
