Description

A behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the iconic musical Sunday in the Park with George, Putting It Together offers a unique glimpse into the two-year odyssey of bringing this beloved Broadway musical to life. In 1982, James Lapine, a young playwright and director, met Stephen Sondheim, a renowned Broadway composer and lyricist, and the two embarked on a creative journey that would result in a Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece. Through conversations with Sondheim, as well as the production team, and featuring a treasure trove of personal photographs, sketches, script notes, and sheet music, Lapine shares the highs and lows of their collaboration and friendship. This deeply personal remembrance lifts the curtain on the making of Sunday in the Park with George, providing a fascinating insight into the creative process and the enduring legacy of this iconic musical.
