An 80s musical, from a 1930s play, set in the 60s, recorded live in 2024, streamed online. Yet - Merrily We Roll Along - song and dance about the emotional weight of whether the morality of growing apart is right or wrong. WORKS. Jonathan Groff gives everything for 2 hrs.
@nickmurftweets It's deserving. It rips open the archetype of Scrooge and dares to go deep into "right" vs. "good." In today's era of worshiping business culture, it's quite powerful. Well done...to all three of you.
@nickmurftweets Let me rephrase: I want more of @nickmurftweets's telling of A Christmas Carol. It guts me every time. I could write an essay about its brilliance, but I fear AI would do it better.
