ARIZONA ONSTAGE PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS STEPHEN SONDHEIM’S PULITZER AND TONY AWARD-WINNING MUSICAL SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE.
Currently playing in New York City at Studio 54 to sold-out houses (and two extensions!), Arizona Onstage Productions (ASSASSINS, A NEW BRAIN, RUTHLESS! ELEGIES, BARK!) is proud to present this timeless show to Tucson, June 19th â€" 29th for 8 performances only at The Pima Center for the Performing Arts Black Box Theater. The Roundabout Theatre Company production has received rave press, such as:
“A great love story that remains among the peak theatre experiences of my life†â€" Newsday
“A Masterwork returns!†â€" USA Today
“The finest show you will see this season†â€" WOR Radio
“A true ‘don’t miss’ theater event†â€" NY Post
“Breathtaking†â€" Variety
“A ravishing epiphany of artistic harmony†â€" New York Times
“Unmissable â€" one of the most amazing shows ever†â€" New York Post
Arizona Onstage Productions will present this landmark musical with a cast of nineteen and twelve instruments in the orchestra. The cast welcomes Kit Runge (ELEGIES, BARK!), Kristé Belt (FLOYD COLLINS, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLLIE, SUSANNAH), Elizabeth Cracchiolo (NINE, RUTHLESS!, THE FULL MONTY, BARK!) with the addition of many other veteran and new faces to the Tucson stage. Digital artwork/lighting/projections are by Andy Diaz and Dan O’Brien, musical direction by David Craig, costume design by Robin Sweet and choreography by Robert Russo. The show is directed by Kevin Johnson. Tickets are $20 - $35 (includes service charges) and will be available soon online at www.arizonaonstage.org. Seating in this intimate space is limited.  (Please note that although all seats in this 110 seat venue are excellent, there will be 10 seats per performance that are considered "premium" advanced seating. They will be pre-assigned, unlike the open seating arrangement. This ticket will include meeting the cast after performances... The additional funds will go toward future Arizona Onstage Productions events.)
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine were inspired by George Seurat’s “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte.†In discussing the painting, Lapine noted that no one was looking at one another and that there was one major figure missing from the canvas: the artist himself. These observations provided the springboard for the creation of the musical, SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE.
