Actors Jessie Austrian and Ben Steinfeld join us to discuss starring in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of “Merrily We Roll Along,” which runs through April 14. They are joined by Fiasco Theater's artistic director Noah Brody, who directed this revival of the 1981 Stephen Sondheim-George Furth musical. The musical is based on a 1934 George S. Kaufman-Moss Hart play, which examines the tumultuous relationship of three friends working in show business.
