Cultural Catchup: Sunday in the Park with George


In addition to two performances of the Paul Taylor Dance Company, I saw Sunday in the Park with George at Studio 54 with Erika on Wednesday night. I put Sondheim to the test in this show, having loved Company, but not being taken by Sweeney Todd. Sondheim emerged victorious. The premise is George Seurat's painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte as the premise. The characters are the people in the park. The set was white walls on which they projected parts of the painting. It was brilliant.
