New York City-based Fiasco Theater is known for its rollicking adaptations of Shakespeare and inventive takes on musicals. The company, which comprises graduates of the Brown University/Trinity Repertory Company MFA acting program, burst on the scene in 2011 with a playful, hoedown-inspired Cymbeline. And Fiasco’s most recent project, Merrily We Roll Along at Roundabout Theatre Company, was a spirited take on Stephen Sondheim’s rarely produced tuner.
