A generally underrated musical, Sunday In the Park With George, is a lovely dramatization of how hard it is to love and support the unique (but difficult) talents among us. There isn’t a song in this musical that doesn’t strike us, eventually, and then it’s like — realizing why something someone said to you an hour ago was a very, very clever joke.
Topics scrutinized in this amazing musical include:
- Some of the issues an Artist might take into consideration when making a painting that others might not even think about.
- What Art Is
- How difficult living with/supporting/choosing/appreciating an Artist can be
- Some of the downsides of immortality, not to mention being noticed by an Artist
