Inspired by French painter Georges Seurat and his iconic 1884 masterpiece A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, this groundbreaking musical brings the artist’s world to life, as the figures of Seurat’s park step out of the canvas and into the theater, moving, singing, and breathing in color and light. In Act I, George revolutionizes painting with an avant-garde technique. In Act II, his great-grandson attempts to push his art into the age of technology. Across a century, both wrestle with creation, connection, and what we leave behind when everything else changes. Epic in scale, daring, and abstract, this Stephen Sondheim classic is an unflinching and deeply human look at the art of making art.
