Description
A behind-the-scenes look at the making of Sunday in the Park with George is offered by Putting It Together. In 1982, James Lapine met Stephen Sondheim, and they decided to write a musical inspired by Georges Seurat's painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The book chronicles their two-year collaboration, drawing on conversations between Lapine and Sondheim, as well as production team insights, personal photographs, sketches, script notes, and sheet music. The result is a deeply personal remembrance of their partnership and the highs and lows of that journey. This unique behind-the-scenes account lifts the curtain on the creation of one of Broadway's most beloved musicals.
