Friday and Saturday I really did nothing except knit (finished the hat... will post a pic of the recipient wearing it when I can) but Sunday was amazing. jewfroart and I went to see Sunday in the Park with George at its Broadway revival and it was phenomenal. I mean, I already knew that I liked it, but this was my first time actually seeing it performed, and it blew me away... the acting, the singing, the special effects...

The premise of the play, at least the first act, is that the painting "Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of Grand Jatte" is being created by an artist who is dropping everything, including the mistress who's modeling for the painting, to work on his great painting. You see the figures on stage... sometimes as real people that he's using as models, sometimes as the figures that he's created. And the whole while you can see the painting being created in pontillist brush strokes.

Anyway, anyone reading this should immediately pick up either the cast album from the 2007/ 2008 revival (the one that I just saw) or the one from the eighties that starred Bernadette Peters as the mistress and Mandy Patinkin (either 'Rube' or 'My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die' depending on which you like better) as George. Amazing. I cried like a baby. Hell, now I even cry just listing to the music in my car.
