“Merrily” Misfires

Sorry to report that Fiasco Theater's revival of Stephen Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along" at Roundabout Theatre is a misconceived revival with acting that is too forced and singing that ranges from middling to painfully bad.    I have seen many productions of this show, but this was the worst I have seen to date.  The cuts to the show here eliminate the necessary emotion I have felt in other productions of this less than perfect show that is graced with a beautiful score.
