'Sunday in the Park With George' is one of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's greatest achievements. This new book includes brand-new interviews with the original cast, the show’s complete script, and plenty of archival photos to show why.
Described by Lapine as, “One part memoir, one part oral history, one part ‘how a musical gets written and produced,’ ” the interview-heavy book reveals the two-year process that led to the initial production. That first iteration premiered in 1983 at Playwright Horizons as a one-act; the divisive second act, set in the 1980s and featuring the actor playing George as Seurat’s great-great-grandson, was only added to that production for its final performances.
Now that journey is recreated by Lapine, who has interviewed many of the original cast and creative team — along with his and Sondheim’s own recollections — to give fans of the show and of theatre in general a bird’s eye view of the artistic process.
