Sunday In The Park with George by Sedos
Sunday In The Park With George is definitely a Marmite kind of musical, even for Sondheim afficionados. A friend recently described it as “Inarguably the single greatest musical ever written.” Collecting the 1985 Pullitzer Prize for Drama and showered with Tonys and Oliviers from its original production through numerous revivals, it clearly has critics in […]
