Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) presents
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Pulitzer Prize winning musical Sunday in the Park with George. This Olivier Award winning production of Sunday in the Park with George, is directed by Sam Buntrock with musical staging by Christopher Gattelli. Sunday in the Park with George
stars Daniel Evans (George), Jenna Russell (Dot & Marie), Michael
Cumpsty (Jules & Bob), Alexander Gemignani (Boatman & Dennis)
and Jessica Molaskey (Yvonne & Naomi).
Sunday in the Park with George is playing a limited engagement through June 15th, 2008 at Studio 54 on Broadway (254 West 54th Street).
The Georges Seurat painting, 'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of
La Grande Jatte', is the inspiration for this compelling musical
fantasy which celebrates the art of creation and the creation of
art. The first half of
Sunday in the Park with George,
set in 1884, sees the painting and its rich comic tapestry come to life
in a world where, for Georges, art comes before love, before
everything. In the second half, set in 1980s New York, we see the
great grandson of Georges and his search for inspiration amongst the
unfolding world of contemporary art.
