In Stephen Sondheim's dazzling Sunday in the Park with George (book by James Lapine), the combination of the extraordinarily brilliant design by David Farley (set and costumes), lighting by Ken Billington and projection design by Timothy Bird & Knifedge Creative Network, and the most unusual use of words and their rhythms since Gilbert and Sullivan (but faster and more profound) gives us a thrilling evening of theater.
The first-act plot is simple; the carrying out is what is brilliant. Act 2, a hundred years later, uses Seurat's influence in a contemporary art outpouring and lifts the theatricality even higher.
It's all eloquently directed by Sam Buntrock, with a very strong cast, especially Jenna Russell. A thrilling theatrical experience.
