First Look: ‘Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened’

Sondheim fans love the cult favorite, Merrily We Roll Along, the 1981 bomb that lasted only 16 performances on Broadway.

Atlas Media has announced that its upcoming feature-length documentary, Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened—a thrilling, behind-the-scenes look into the ‘then’ and ‘now’ of perhaps Stephen Sondheim’s most beloved work—has been acquired for theatrical distribution by Abramorama, the industry’s preeminent distributor of independent cinema.

Best Worst Thing… will be released theatrically on Friday, November 18 in New York City at Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center (144 W. 65th Street) as well as the IFC Center (323 6^th Avenue); and on Friday, November 25 in Los Angeles at Laemmle’s Royal Theatre(1523 Santa Monica Blvd.).
