Putting It Together: How Stephen Sondheim and I Created Sunday in the Park with George Free Audiobook Download by James Lapine

Sunday in the Park with George, a classic musical from Stephen Sondheim, is finally coming to life as a 1926-set story of love and loss. James Lapine, who wrote the libretto for the show's first incarnation, set out to write a separate book about George, but realized he needed help. He turned to Stephen Sondheim; they created this new work together based on around 500 pages of potential material. In this interview with BroadwayWorld, Lapine discusses what it was like working with Sondheim, how much time he spent on the project, and how some of his favorite moments are captured in the final script.

Sunday in the Park with George was an adaptation of George Seurat's painting of the same name. The musical is a fun and unforgettable masterpiece about George, who has been confined to his apartment for thirteen years. All he loves are his sister and her friends, but when they start coming over to visit him, he starts to look forward to life outside of his room. In order not to confuse the audience and make them feel like they're stepping into different worlds too early, James Lapine uses a combination of action, dialogue and song to show how we go from one place in the story to another.

James Lapine, the author of Sunday in the Park with George and the original director of Broadway's Into The Woods (as well as a Tony winner), is known for his elegant storytelling, his witty humor, and his careful attention to detail. He also has an incredible knack for narrating audiobooks—in fact, it was his narration of Into The Woods that got me into audiobooks!
