that means good! It is grand, amazing and fantastic, but if you are anything like me, most sondheim needs to be listened to or watched a few times to really appreciate. Sunday in the Park with George is visually amazing. It has some beautiful songs (Finishing the Hat springs to mind) and Mandy Patinkin is simply superb. This is a first rate, top notch, high class production that is a gerat addition to anyones musicals collection

Right! First of all remember this is a very old filming of the show so be prepared for bits of wonky music and occasionaly poor images. Secondly remember this is a broadway Sondheim show so its very american and very difficult to get into unlike some of his more accesible shows however this is a beautiful show. The entire cast are very good especially Bernadette Peters Mandy Patinkin and Babara Bryne. The staging for its era is very clever and pretty. The songs are very hard to immediatly like but give them time (buy the CD first is my advice)The story has many messages and is well written.
So if you're prepared to give this beautiful musical time and to overlook its age related faults then get ready to Move On down to a rather plaesant experiance called Sunday in the Park with George.

I thought this dvd was wonderful, the singing and acting of an extremely high standard and of course with the exceptional music and lyric by my faviourate composer; Stephen Sondheim. The commentry was quite humorous and lovely to look back on the production from later on. It may seen unusual and it's non-linear approach might put you off, but to any devoted Sondheim fan it's a must see. ;o)

Sunday in the Park with George
Stephen Sondheim is a musical genius. If you doubt this statement, have a look at Sunday in the Park with George. Read more

Not playable on a UK DVD player
Despite what it says under the product description (suitable for Region 2, which includes the UK), the copy sent to me by all your music will not play on my UK DVD player.
