Sunday in the Park with George

(Applause Libretto Library). This 1995 Pulitzer Prize-winning musical was inspired by the painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat. A complex work revolving around a fictionalized Seurat immersed in single-minded concentration while painting the masterpiece the production has evolved into a meditation on art emotional connection and community. This publication contains the entire script of the musical. Sunday is itself a modernist creation perhaps the first truly modernist work of musical theatre that Broadway has produced ... a watershed event that demands nothing less than a retrospective even revisionist look at the development of the serious Broadway musical.
