This 1995 Pulitzer Prize-winning musical was inspired by the painting A
Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat. A
complex work revolving around a fictionalized Seurat immersed in
single-minded concentration while painting the masterpiece, the
production has evolved into a meditation on art, emotional connection,
and community. This publication contains the entire script of the
musical. "Sunday is itself a modernist creation, perhaps the first truly
modernist work of musical theatre that Broadway has produced ... a
watershed event that demands nothing less than a retrospective, even
revisionist, look at the development of the serious Broadway musical."-
Frank Rich, The New York Times Magazine
