Rooftop Writers Initiative Cast Talkback | Merrily We Roll Along on Broadway

Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s Merrily We Roll Along underscores the profound impact that emerging young writers can make. It is in this spirit that we partnered with the Stephen Sondheim Foundation, American Theater Wing's Jonathan Larson Grant, and American Express® to launch the Rooftop Writers Initiative.
On February 29th, we welcomed 100 young artists who submitted their original work and explained what motivates them to write. They received two complimentary tickets to a special Merrily performance and, after the performance, they attended an audience talkback with the cast moderated by Benj Pasek!

Loved it!!!! Wonderful cast! Love Jonathan, he's so darling! ❤

Thank you for this. These are my favorite kind of Broadway videos; you can really get to know the actors and people behind the scenes and watch them before or after seeing the show. I am going shortly to see this show and it will add to my enjoyment of it. ❤

Only in the US is the sponsor mentioned before anything else, despite the phenomenal talent lined up for the event.

[@danielle7663]

They’re sponsoring for the Jonathan Larson grant for aspiring writers..

[@Ozloz]

When else do you want them to mention it? In the middle of the event? It’s easiest to do it at the top. Just because something is first doesn’t mean they think it’s more important or better than the other things. In curtain call the stars bow last
