SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE

Axelrod Performing Arts Center, New Jersey

The Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece Sunday in the Park with George, written by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, is regarded as one of the most acclaimed musicals of all time. The 1984 musical, which originally starred Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin, was inspired by the French pointillist painter Georges Seurat's painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The Broadway production was nominated for an astounding ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The score is beloved for its beauty, majesty and characteristic wit, with songs including “Sunday,” “Finishing the Hat,” “Move On” and “Putting It Together.”

Making his debut at the Axelrod, Eamon Foley, began his Broadway career in 13 The Musical and is one of Broadway’s up-and-coming director-choreographers. Foley’s strikingly new concept for this production of Sunday revolves around the use of color, light and movement to invite the audience into George’s mind so that they better understand his creative process and struggles. Celebrating “the art of making art,” we bring the colors on George’s pallet to life through dance and light, allowing the audience to live alongside the painter as he creates his masterpiece.
