"Daniel Evans and Jenna Russell give precisely nuanced, very funny
and expressively sung musical portraits."
- Clive Barnes, New York Post

“A masterwork returns. One of Sondheim's most achingly tender works, with James Lapine's tart libretto and Sondheim's witty, rapturous score. Sam Buntrock enhances the bittersweet beauty and underscores its visceral punch. Daniel Evans is superb. Jenna Russell is sassy, sensual, funny and touching. It gives all of us words to live and create by."
-Elysa Gardner, USA Today



Sunday in the Park with George’s Olivier Award winning stars Daniel Evans and Jenna Russell will be featured on WNYC’s “The Leonard Lopate Show” on Friday, March 21st from 1:40-2:00PM on 93.9FM and AM 820. Tune in to hear Daniel and Jenna discuss their journey from London to New York in this critically acclaimed Broadway revival.

Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) presents Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Pulitzer Prize winning musical Sunday in the Park with George. This Olivier Award winning production of Sunday in the Park with George, is directed by Sam Buntrock with musical staging by Christopher Gattelli. Sunday in the Park with George stars Daniel Evans (George), Jenna Russell (Dot & Marie), Michael Cumpsty (Jules & Bob), Alexander Gemignani (Boatman & Dennis) and Jessica Molaskey (Yvonne & Naomi).

Sunday in the Park with George is playing a limited engagement through June 15th, 2008 at Studio 54 on Broadway (254 West 54th Street).

The Georges Seurat painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, is the inspiration for this compelling musical fantasy which celebrates the art of creation and the creation of art. The first half of Sunday in the Park with George, set in 1884, sees the painting and its rich comic tapestry come to life in a world where, for Georges, art comes before love, before everything. In the second half, set in 1980s New York, we see the great grandson of Georges and his search for inspiration amongst the unfolding world of contemporary art.
