"I have said before that the idea of a musical based on a century old painting would have caused me to be quite a bit more than skeptical, and probably be bored to tears in the theatre."

But, in fairness, to say that SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE is "a musical based on a century-old painting" is misleading. The show is primarily about the man who created the painting, and about the creative process.

"An inebriated monologue part sung in a musical o(e)uvre not of my usual taste turned into one of the most stirring visions of humanity ever put on stage."

What show is that??!!

The first part, I think the reality is between what I wrote and what you responded. The persons portrayed in the painting were transformed into the people of a fictional world of the painter.

The second? Hedwig, of course! And Ouvre is the correct spelling. Barbera Streisand told me so. :-)

"An inebriated monologue..."

I'm pretty sure it's "Finishing the Hat."

"Second bottle, ah, she looks for me."
