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.
