3.9 Sunday in the Park with George!

The Gospel of Musical Theatre

It's time for Peter’s favorite Sondheim musical: Sunday in the Park with George!

Stephen Sondheim & James Lapine’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1985 musical masterpiece is a beautiful meditation on art and art-making. We love this show, and we hope you will too.

We talk about:

- Making art, preaching sermons, and the art of living – and suffering & failure in art... and life

- Noticing & cultivating attention as a spiritual practice

- The relational power of art – and the challenge of living with artists!

- The multi-faceted nature of the word (and the hymn!) "Sunday:" a day of rest, a day of sabbath, the finding of shalom

You’ll hear:

- Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin and the cast of the Original Broadway Cast Recording (1984) singing "Putting It Together," "Finishing the Hat," "We Do Not Belong Together," "Sunday Hymn," "The Day Off," "It’s Hot Up Here," and "Move On"
