Sunday in the Park with George
Music and Lyrics by Stephen SondheimBook by James Lapine
Directed by Rick FrendtMusic Direction by Ryan BrewsterVocal Direction by Jonathon LynchChoreography by Nancy Flaster
The days leading up to the completion of his most famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, Georges Seurat is struggling to make meaningful art and maintaining a relationship with his lover, Dot. Amid the scorn of the artistic community, Seurat's artistic ability thrives while his love diminishes. A century later, Seurat's descendant – named George and also an artist – finds himself burnt out and in search of what artistic path to follow, but he finds the answer to his future in the past.
SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE was presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials were also supplied by MTI. www.MTIShows.com
