John Bambery stars in 'Sunday in the Park' in S.F. and Recalls His Visit With Chita Rivera & Roger Rees

Speaking from a completely unbiased perspective, this production is mind-blowingly astonishing and everybody should beg, borrow, or steal to see it asap.

Can you elaborate on what makes this production astonishing?

I have a ticket to see this tomorrow night! I had no idea it's been so well-received. I just bought a ticket because I'm in town, and it's my favorite musical, so I'd like another chance to see it live. Glad to hear it's been getting raves. I have to say I'm a bit skeptical though. In the past I've found that SF Playhouse casts its shows very well, but they tend to be a little spotty when it comes to production value. And Sunday is a show where visuals are very important. But I'll reserve judgement until after seeing it, of course!

I have never seen the show before, so I won't have a reference point. The only San Francisco Playhouse show I have seen was La Cage Aux Folles, which I thought was nicely staged. If the performances are good, that's more important to me - unless I'm one of those people who doesn't like the musical.
