Terry Gross interviews actor Jonathan Groff and director Maria Friedman about the current revival of George Furth and Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along.

It’s well worth a listen.

Jonathan mentions finding new things in the words and music even after playing over 300 performances, and Maria talks about Sondheim becoming godfather to one of her children.

But a minor correction: Terry uses the term syncopation to describe some of the music that is not technically syncopated.
