Merrily We Roll Along, the smash Broadway hit starring Tony-winners Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe and nominee Lindsay Mendez, is being professionally filmed by RadicalMedia, the same production company that proshot and produced Hamilton and Come From Away.
A production insider tells Deadline that producers are indeed filming the show, but couldn’t confirm future plans like a TV broadcast, streaming or even a theatrical release. Hamilton was intended for a theatrical release but went to Disney+ due to Covid. Come From Away streamed on Apple TV+.
Rumors about a Merrily proshot have been circulating since last week, when those paper notices familiar to all New Yorkers were posted along 44th Street in Manhattan indicating that a filming would be taking place on Monday, June 17, and Tuesday, June 18. The block where the notices were posted is home to the Hudson Theatre, where Merrily plays.
Said the insider, “The show producers are filming their production of Merrily for posterity. That doesn’t happen very often. We’ll see what happens.”
On Sunday, Merrily won the Tony Award for Best Musical Revival, with Groff winning Best Leading Actor/Musical and Radcliffe taking the Best Featured Actor/Musical trophies. Jonathan Tunick won the Tony for his orchestrations.

“Merrily We Roll Along” was already a “surefire, genuine, walk-away blockbuster, lines down to Broadway, boffola, sensational, box office lalapalooza, gargantuan hit” and now it has the Tony Awards to prove it.The first Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s infamous flop (seriously — the original production played just 16 performances in 1981) took home four statuettes at 2024 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical and a long awaited Best Orchestrations award for Jonathan Tunick (Sondheim’s orchestrator of choice, who has never won a Tony for his work with Sondheim before now).Perhaps ‘Merrily’s most triumphant moments at the Tonys were in the acting categories; first, Daniel Radcliffe won his first Tony in the Featured Actor category (and accepted it from future Charley Kringas Ben Platt!), then Jonathan Groff took home his first Tony Award for Best Lead Actor in a Musical. The pair were visibly emotional during each other’s wins, both of which have been a long time in the making.
Daniel Radcliffe shared an emotional embrace with Jonathan Groff as the two stars both won Tonys for their roles on Broadway’s Merrily We Roll Along.During last night’s (June 16) handout of the prestigious awards, which honour the best of New York theatre, Groff won Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for his part in the Stephen Sondheim musical.As he walked up, however, he was seen emotionally embracing Radcliffe, and got tearful onstage as he thanked his co-star, as well as fellow actor Lindsay Mendez.“Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez, you are more than old friends,” he said as his voice trembled.
