Sunday in the Park with George Revival

Ages: 12+
Closing: June 29, 2008

Sunday in the Park with George - 2008 Broadway History , Info & More


Dive into the world of artistic obsession and the complexities of creativity with Sunday in the Park with George, the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine. This visually stunning and thought-provoking piece explores the life and struggles of Georges Seurat, the pointillist painter known for his masterpiece, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

The musical intertwines past and present, blurring the lines between reality and Seurat's artistic vision. We see Seurat grappling with his creative process, his relentless pursuit of perfection, and the toll it takes on his relationships. His muse, Dot, embodies the woman depicted in the painting, and their tumultuous love story unfolds alongside the creation of the iconic artwork.

Sunday in the Park with George is a masterpiece in its own right. The hauntingly beautiful score, filled with Sondheim's signature intricate lyrics and soaring melodies, perfectly complements the themes of the musical. With its innovative staging, exploring dreamscapes and artistic inspiration, and its exploration of the beauty and frustrations of the creative process, Sunday in the Park with George remains a powerful and enduring work of art.

Explore the 'Six Degrees' Between SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION Casts
by Matt Tamanini - Apr 30, 2017


By now, the idea has morphed into a pop-culture game lampooning (or honoring) one of our most prolific actors, but when John Guare's play, Six Degrees of Separation, debuted on Broadway in 1990, the idea that everyone on the planet was connected through a web of just six other people was a hard to imagine. So, to celebrate the 27-year history of Guare's play, we are going to attempt to connect the stars who originated the main roles on Broadway to the actors that assumed them for the revival, using only Broadway credits; hopefully we can get there in just six 'degrees.'
