From Amazon.com
After Merrily We Roll Along's devastating flop in 1981, Stephen Sondheim thought about abandoning the theater. He wrote one of his most beloved shows instead, Sunday in the Park with George. Sondheim and his new collaborator, librettist/director James Lapine, used George Seurat's painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" as a way to tackle the issue of artistic creation itself. Both Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters play two different parts with brio, jumping across decades with ease, and they get to deliver some of Sondheim's most heartwrenching songs--"Color and Light," "Finishing the Hat," "Putting It Together," and "Children and Art." Sunday in the Park with George is one of the most intellectually ambitious musicals to ever hit Broadway--and one of the most emotionally rewarding. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews

THIS SHOW IS BETTER THAN LES MISERABLES
Sondheim's best show in my opinion but unfortunately it is not as well known as it should be. If you enjoy the C.D. I would also advise you get the D.V.D as well because then you will see the stunning performances from Mandy Patinkin and Brnadette Peters. They will always belong together. This is a beautiful and thouroughly moving show.ENJOY!!!

Sondheim is the way forward for musical theatre....
I have never heard a score that is so beautiful.Sondheim's work has never been so accessable but so difficult all at once.Performances by Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patankin are flawless and the songs are songs you will never forget.If you are interested in performing in musical theatre then this show will be an inspiration and a fantastic 'acting through song'lesson which you can practise again and again.If you just like good music,then buy it anyway.
