The Music Theatre Company may be a young performing arts organization, but it certainly shows its ambition by producing the beloved Stephen Sondheim and George Furth Broadway flop musical Merrily We Roll Along. This intimate staging features some talented Equity actors in a told-backwards tale of a famous composer and his two best friends. Merrily We Roll Along continues 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays until May 1 at the Karger Center, 1850 Green Bay, Highland Park. Tickets are $30; call 847-570-4900 or visit www.themusictheatrecompany.org. Photo of (from left) Jarrod Zimmerman, Jessie Mueller and Alan Schmuckler in Merrily We Roll Along by Brandon Dahlquist
