Due to unprecedented demand and critical acclaim, the Menier Chocolate Factory is pleased to announce that the run for its revival of the Sondheim/Furth musicalMerrily We Roll Along has been extended to Saturday, 9th March, 2013.
Merrily We Roll Along is based on the 1934 play of the same name by George S.
