Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
I had strong personal ties to this piece, which I have just extracted from the abstract in a private document-- they gave the piece significant emotional weight for me, at times.
Objectively-speaking, I think this is a good play. Good music, good dialogue, a very and beautifully immersive setting, and thematics to ponder abounding. Honestly, in addition to the pure pleasure in viewing that this piece evokes, by its humor and music and setting and poignant truth, there are significant ideas to be extracted, pertaining mostly to art and relationships, but relating also to all of humanity and society. Maybe I've just been in an enhanced state of sucking enlightenment out of my world lately, but I nevertheless saw loads of insight in this play available for the taking. While I certainly have been getting more out of art and entertainment lately than I have in a long time, due to recent life events, and as evidenced by my recent film experiences (I Believe in Unicorns, Lost in Translation, Jane Eyre...), I consider my assessment of Sunday in the Park with George as a good and insightful and pleasurable and meaningful play fairly objective.
Also, I love it. I do.
