The Long Island Musical Theatre Festival bridges the gap between quality education and professional theatre. We provide students with the opportunity to work with Broadway guest artists, perform a fully staged musical with a professional orchestra, and receive training from current industry professionals. It is our mission to provide a program that is educational and fun while creating a safe environment for students to take risks and discover who they are as performers. Merrily We Roll Along chronicles the lives and careers of three best friends. The story begins in 1976, and ends in 1957. The music and lyrics are by Stephen Sondheim with a book by George Furth and orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick.  “Glorious…Heartbreaking…The charms of the music are still abundantly evident…The cheers began with the first bars of the show’s overture, the most infectious and conventionally stirring that Mr. Sondheim wrote.”– New York Times
