#50re: Sunday in the Park with George
Posted: 2/15/06 at 9:06amThe production at the Kennedy center a couple summers back solved the problem of the chromolume in the second act - it was a really well thought-out production (even though I found Melissa Errico cold and lifeless. The design of the show was really beautiful, also.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

Agreed, redhot. I think a lot of it was in Raul Esparza's performance; I felt like he put a believable vulnerable spin on George #2; my interpretation of his interpretation was an artist who really was just having major trouble finding himself, I thought he seemed to live in the east village and was probably gay. Although I thought the use of "video george" instead of "cardboard george" was a bit distracting.
Once when I saw him after a show I asked Raul Esparza about it and he said that the way he saw it, and the way Sondheim explained it to him, you just couldn't have act two without act one because in act one it's not complete, the story isn't completely told. But in act two, the real lessons are learned, etc. His explanation was so passionate but so complex, I barely remember it. I remember he said that he was able to bring a lot to it about the grandmother passing away and that it's an event that makes it all the more real, the grandmother leaving in the same way that Dot leaves...
I also really liked the way that in the Kennedy Center production, you were always in his studio and that all of the "pieces" were on canvases. It gave a great sense that George really never ventured into the outside world, giving more of a clear distinction between him and George #2.
I would have loved to see the Kennedy Center one videotaped....

Posted: 2/15/06 at 10:31amTry singing it sometime - it will really get to you. Some of the most difficult numbers I've ever had to learn, but totally worth it when they all come together. Sondheim is my all time favorite composer, followed by Adam Guettel and Richard Rodgers.
