Re: MERRILY on Broadway 2023

From WhatsOnStage:

Merrily We Roll Along producer says Broadway recording "is not a capture... it's its own genre" of film
Sonia Friedman expressed her excitement as the film edges closer to public release


No substantive discussion of the upcoming release; just Friedman gushing with pride in her sister's work translating their production for the screen, for sixty seconds at the tail end of this podcast.  (Which is fine, but the modern tic of hyping these captures as a brand-new art form being born before our eyes — cf., the "Hamilfilm," which may have started this unfortunate trend — still rubs me the wrong way).

Meanwhile, from BroadwayWorld...

Rialto Chatter:  Is Merrily We Roll Along Coming to Movie Theaters This December?

...December 5, to be specific?  Maybe, maybe not;  three days after BWW published that, the AMC Theaters link in their article takes me to a page listing Merrily's release date as January 1, 1900 [sic].  Perhaps the Dec. 5 date had been listed there prematurely — which doesn't necessarily mean inaccurately — and was subsequently removed, pending an announcement more official than "Rialto chatter".
