Theatre review – “Sunday in the Park with George” – NIDA Oct 16, 2012

NIDA musicals have to be the best theatre value in town because you've got all the production value at ridiculously cheap prices and if you're lucky you'll get two top leads like that have here. This is the first time I've seen Sondheim on stage and it's pretty impressive - the intelligence, complexity, maddening at times refusal to go for the easy hit tune (would it hurt that much, Steve?), beautiful music, cleverness, enchanting. The character of the wife in the modern day feels extremely undercooked.
