This Stephen Sondheim/James Lapine Pulitzer Prize winning musical masterwork is a tale told in two centuries. Act One is about the 19th Century pointillist painter Georges Seurat, as he grapples with the tension between making art and having any kind of personal life while creating his masterpiece A Sunday on La Grande Jatte. Act Two gives us a late 20th Century conceptual artist also named George who could be Seurat's great grandson and who continues the quest for balance and meaning in a modern life where artistic creation can seem insignificant in its constant clash with commerce. Yet the message that spans the centuries is one of the endurance of Art, in all its forms, bringing to humanity artful, necessary blessings.
