What does it take to create great art—and what does it cost? In a swirl of color and passion, visionary painter Georges Seurat strives to bring a new kind of beauty into the world, even as his bond with his muse and lover, Dot, begins to fracture. Dismissed by critics and misunderstood by peers, Seurat’s devotion to his work comes at a heart-wrenching price. A century later, his descendant, another George, wrestles with creative burnout and the weight of legacy. Searching for direction, he discovers that the inspiration he needs has been waiting in the past all along. With a virtuosic score by Stephen Sondheim, Sunday in the Park with George is a Pulitzer Prize-winning meditation on art, love, and the courage to create.
