The Merrily We Roll Along documentary, which disappeared from Netflix, will be back on platforms such as Amazon, according to the internet. Do we believe it? I will happily pay for it.

What's not to believe? The release was officially announced.

I think it's worth buying in case they ever pull it off from streaming. I bought this documentary from Amazon Prime back in October 2017 for $7.99 and even though it's not available for streaming right now, I can still watch it from my Amazon Prime account. Back in January I had a few friends over at my place and we watched the documentary after watching the show off-broadway.

I find it absolutely amazing that they were trying to do this documentary WITHOUT that documentary footage - and then they actually found it and well, it makes the entire documentary a must see and not just one of the best theatre documentaries or even documentaries I've ever seen, but one of my favourite pieces of art. As people used to say when it was released, this documentary is kind of the best production of Merrily We Roll Along ever done lol (that was before the upcoming revival). Talk about life imitating art (not really sure if I've even used the expression correctly).
As an aside, I was at Marie's Crisis recently and I THINK I actually saw Lonny Price there! I was too afraid to say anything, of course. With the obvious caveat that it's impossible to really know how someone is unless you know them, he seems like a great guy.
