“A brilliant production of Sondheim's best musical: spectacular, beautifully acted, moving, funny, glamorous and intelligent!” –Sunday Times
“A glorious revival...a ravishing epiphany of artistic harmony.” –The New York Times
“What truly distinguishes the effort is the depth of emotion each performer reveals.... Daniel Evans' baritone buzzes with intensity...while Jenna Russell's amber-hued soprano conveys conflicted frustration and admiration.” –LA Times
“I already foresee the Evans–Russell Sunday becoming my Sunday of choice, and I am glad to pass on an unqualified recommendation for this CD.” –Playbill
Sunday in the Park with George 2006 London Cast Recording
Stephen Sondheim & James Lapine's Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, in its most complete recording. This new album features the 2006 London cast, headed by Olivier Award-winner Daniel Evans and 2006 Olivier Award-nominee Jenna Russell, both of them Tony-nominated when the show transferred to Broadway in the spring of 2008.
Audience and critics have been unanimous in their praise of this production, which recreates the world of Seurat's masterpiece Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte with the use of groundbreaking projection and animation technology. Now this legendary score and acclaimed production, directed by Sam Buntrock, have been preserved in a comprehensive two-disc set.
