A great documentary about an overrated musical - that is, the original, ill-fated production of Stephen Sondheim's ambitious (and uneven) Merrily We Roll Along, as recounted by its stars 35 years on, with the help of a wealth of recently uncovered documentary footage. A must for all theater buffs, and for those who love Merrily, an absolute treasure.

You don't have to be a fan of Broadway musicals to love every minute of Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened. This story of one of the most crushing flops to ever hit the Great White Way speaks to the ambition that drives all of us, even sometimes into a brick wall.
