Putting It Together is a captivating journey that spans two years, recounting the creation of the iconic Broadway musical Sunday in the Park with George. In 1982, at the dawn of his career as a playwright and director, James Lapine had the privilege of meeting Stephen Sondheim, a legendary Broadway composer and lyricist nineteen years his senior. Inspired by Georges Seurat's nineteenth-century masterpiece, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, the two visionary artists embarked on a collaborative endeavor to bring this painting to life on the stage.
Through intimate conversations between Lapine and Sondheim, as well as the majority of the production team, and a treasure trove of personal photographs, sketches, script notes, and sheet music, the two Broadway icons peel back the curtain on their beloved musical. This documentary is a deeply personal remembrance of their collaboration and friendship, encompassing the exhilarating highs and challenging lows of their artistic journey.
The result of their tireless efforts was the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, Sunday in the Park with George. This musical masterpiece has left an indelible mark on the world of theater, captivating audiences with its breathtaking music, intricate lyrics, and profound themes.
Putting It Together serves as a testament to the power of collaboration and the enduring legacy of artistic brilliance. It is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates the magic of theater and the profound impact that great works of art can have on our lives.
