Just watched this on Netflix. Excellent documentary about the original production of Merrily We Roll Along, catching up with the cast and creatives.
I think I knew that Merrily was originally a flop but I didn't know it only ran 16 performances after opening!

For Sondheim fans, the documentary 'Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened' about the original production of 'Merrily We Roll Along' has hit Netflix. It's very moving and they have some amazing footage off Sondheim, Hal Prince and the young cast. The New York Times picked it as one of their top ten films of 2016. www.bestworstthingmovie.com/ |

Oops sorry - didn't see it. Perhaps a nice admin will join the threads?

After several months of paying for Netflix and not actually watching anything, I decided it was time to review whether I was getting my money's worth out of it. I ruthlessly trimmed my "To Watch" list, concluding that of the many, many things on there, the only thing I was desperate to see was "Paris is Burning". So I cancelled my subscription, and watched my final content.
On the day the subscription ended, I said to my husband "Sod's law, they'll add a Sondheim film I've never heard of now we've cancelled".
And so it came to pass!
I'd never heard of this though, so thanks - hopefully I'll find a way to buy/rent this through other means... if not, I'll be re-activating my subscription! It sounds very interesting.
