Inspired by the painting “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” by Georges Seurat, the Fountain Hills Theater is presenting the musical “Sunday in the Park with George.”
It opens Friday evening, Nov. 6.
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s stunning masterpiece merges past and present into beautiful, poignant truths about life, love and the creation of art.
An acclaimed musical, this moving study of the enigmatic painter Georges Seurat won a Pulitzer Prize and was nominated for an astounding 10 TONY Awards including best musical.
The days leading up to the completion of his most famous painting, “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,” Georges Seurat is struggling to make meaningful art and maintaining a relationship with his lover, Dot.
Amid the scorn of the artistic community, Seurat’s artistic ability thrives while his love diminishes.
A century later, Seurat’s descendant -- named George and also an artist – finds himself burnt out and in search of what artistic path to follow, but he finds the answer to his future in the past.
“Sunday in the Park with George” is produced through special arrangement with Music Theater International.
