Sunday in the Park with George, which won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1985, takes its inspiration from the George Seurat modernist painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Act One examines Seurat’s life and his ground-breaking process of pointillism that set him apart from the popular Impressionist Artists of his time. Time-traveling to the present day, Act Two focuses on George, a contemporary artist and the great-grandson of Seurat, who battles his own artistic choices and compromises. Featuring some of Sondheim’s most heart wrenching songs, this is a daring, ambitious musical theater masterpiece.
