⭐ SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE – WEST END TRANSFER WILL NOT HAPPEN IN 2021 ⭐
Producers have confirmed that the highly-anticipated West End transfer of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, Sunday In the Park with George, will not happen in 2021.
Producers commented: “Due to ongoing government restrictions around travel and the reopening of theatres at full capacity, the producers of Sunday in the Park with George have taken the difficult decision that it is not going to be possible for the show to take place in London in 2021. Everyone involved remains 100 per cent committed to making the show work when conditions and schedule align to make it possible.”
Jeanine Tesori, Riva Marker and Adam Speers also commented: “We’re of course disappointed that Sunday in the Park with George couldn’t happen last year as planned but remain committed to bring this beautiful show to the West End. We speak for the entire creative and production team when we say how much we wanted to bring Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s once-in-a-lifetime musical with Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Ashford’s remarkable performances to London and will let everyone know as soon as we are able to make it happen.”
One of the most acclaimed musicals of all time – Sondheim and Lapine’s masterpiece follows painter Georges Seurat (Jake Gyllenhaal) in the months leading up to the completion of his most famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Consumed by his need to “finish the hat,” Seurat alienates the French bourgeoisie, spurns his fellow artists, and neglects his lover Dot (Annaleigh Ashford), not realising that his actions will reverberate over the next 100 years.
Existing ticket holders will be contacted via email within seven days to discuss their options.
I’m really glad to hear they are still set on making it happen though! ! !
