Merrily We Roll Along, the smash Broadway hit starring Tony-winners Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe and nominee Lindsay Mendez, is being professionally filmed by RadicalMedia, the same production company that proshot and produced Hamilton and Come From Away.
A production insider tells Deadline that producers are indeed filming the show, but couldn’t confirm future plans like a TV broadcast, streaming or even a theatrical release. Hamilton was intended for a theatrical release but went to Disney+ due to Covid. Come From Away streamed on Apple TV+.
Rumors about a Merrily proshot have been circulating since last week, when those paper notices familiar to all New Yorkers were posted along 44th Street in Manhattan indicating that a filming would be taking place on Monday, June 17, and Tuesday, June 18. The block where the notices were posted is home to the Hudson Theatre, where Merrily plays.
Said the insider, “The show producers are filming their production of Merrily for posterity. That doesn’t happen very often. We’ll see what happens.”
On Sunday, Merrily won the Tony Award for Best Musical Revival, with Groff winning Best Leading Actor/Musical and Radcliffe taking the Best Featured Actor/Musical trophies. Jonathan Tunick won the Tony for his orchestrations.
