Tomorrow, Jake Gyllenhaal will sit down with LIVE's Kelly Ripa and guest co-host Jeffrey Dean Morgan to chat about his Broadway musical debut in Sunday in the Park with George. BWW will bring you video of the appearance as soon as it becomes available.

The Broadway revival of Sunday in the Park with George is set to begin previews at the historic Hudson Theatre on February 11, and officially opening February 23rd. The show will run for a strictly limited 10-week engagement. Directed by Sarna Lapine, the show will play through Sunday, April 23rd.

Sondheim and Lapine's masterpiece follows painter Georges Seurat (Jake Gyllenhaal) in the months leading up to the completion of his most famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Consumed by his need to "finish the hat," Seurat alienates the French bourgeoisie, spurns his fellow artists, and neglects his lover Dot (Annaleigh Ashford), not realizing that his actions will reverberate over the next 100 years.
