By some amazing stroke of luck (also known as my friend and co-worker Jeff) tonight I was invited to attend the first ever public performance of Stephen Sondheim’s newest musical Sunday in the Park with George*. My seat was reserved in the front row of the mezzanine. I have never felt so cool in my entire life.
The musical was fantastic, and an artistic masterpiece to boot. You can read about the concept here. It’s not a ‘leg-kicking musical,’ as Jeff described it, but it really resonated with me and I think it would do the same with any artistic types. It addresses creativity in a really unique way, and inspires an open-minded approach to expression. Not to mention the cast is superb and the music beautiful.
*To clarify, the musical itself is not new, but its current revival is. It hasn’t been performed here since 1994. Thanks Anthony :)
