Music and Lyrics by  Stephen Sondheim

Book by  James Lapine

Directed by Martin Friedman
 Musical Direction by Jordan Cooper

The Play:

This is my third time directing Stephen Sondheim's Pulitzer Prize-winning musical play Sunday in the Park with George. I truly believe that Stephen Sondheim is not only the greatest living musical theatre composer but also one of the greatest ever. I am honored to have the opportunity to work on this masterpiece again with musical director Jordan Cooper.
Sunday in the Park with George takes a poignant and compelling look at Post-Impressionist artist Georges Seurat and examines the process of creating art by bringing his "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte" to life. The musical is as much about watching a genius create his masterpiece as it is a commentary on the joys and frustrations of creating art in a commercial world. Sunday's music and lyrics are achingly beautiful. Its songs include "Putting it Together", "Children and Art" and "Sunday in the Park with George". This play is a real testament to the trials and tribulations of the creative genius.
