A behind-the-scenes look at the making of the iconic musical Sunday in the Park with George Putting It Together chronicles the two-year odyssey of creating the iconic Broadway musical Sunday in the Park with George. In 1982, James Lapine, at the beginning of his career as a playwright and director, met Stephen Sondheim, nineteen years his senior and already a legendary Broadway composer and lyricist. Shortly thereafter, the two decided to write a musical inspired by Georges Seurat's nineteenth-century painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Through conversations between Lapine and Sondheim, as well as most of the production team, and with a treasure trove of personal photographs, sketches, script notes, and sheet music, the two Broadway icons lift the curtain on their beloved musical. Putting It Together is a deeply personal remembrance of their collaboration and friend - ship and the highs and lows of that journey, one that resulted in the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning classic.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Farrar, Straus and GirouxISBN-13:9780374200091ISBN-10:374200092UPC:9780374200091Book Category:Performing ArtsBook Subcategory:TheaterBook Topic:Broadway & Musicals, History & Criticism, PlaywritingSize:9.55 x 8.30 x 1.25 inchesWeight:2.5022Product ID:SCAXVHSC9J
