Best Of: 'Merrily We Roll Along'; MSNBC Host Ali Velshi

Sat, 08 Jun 2024

Description

Stephen Sondheim's musical Merrily We Roll Along flopped when it debuted in 1981. But its Broadway revival has been a hit, garnering seven Tony nominations. We talk with director Maria Friedman, who was a friend of Sondheim's, and actor Jonathan Groff. MSNBC host Ali Velshi traces his family's migration across three continents, from a village in India to South Africa — where his grandfather crossed paths with Mahatma Gandhi — to Kenya, Canada and the U.S. Velshi's new memoir is Small Acts of Courage.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
