Jonathan Groff in a throuple? Two Broadway stans debate Sondheim’s biggest flop-turned-hit

Merrily We Roll Along was dubbed “a shambles” by then chief theater critic of the New York Times, Frank Rich. Returning to Broadway for the first time with a trifecta of stage and screen stars, including Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez, that same news outlet dubbed the show a “palpable hit.” Somewhere in musical theater heaven, Sondheim, with that sly grin and squinty eye, is likely muttering, “I told you so.”Director Maria Friedman and choreographer Tim Jackson first staged this version (there have been many) in London in 2012, which then transferred to the West End.

Welcome back to our queer film retrospective, “A Gay Old Time.” In this week’s column, we revisit 1970’s Something For Everyone, a forgotten gem that deserves its chance to shine again.Every week in this column, we take a deep dive into an older film that has somehow made a mark on gay culture; popular or forgotten, acclaimed or critically panned, obvious in its connection to our community or more ambiguous.
