It's such a beautiful masterpiece of a musical, and reading it as a play is another way to experience it, apart from just listening to the songs, or watching it live or recorded. It may seem odd to think that this strange, surreal little musical about a fictionalized Georges Seurat could have anything important to say to us sophisticated modern citizens, but surprise! it is simple, profound, and moving. While most of what it has to say relates directly to Art and the challenges of the creative process, it is also more generally applicable to all humans. 'Move On' is one of my favorite pieces in all of musical theatre, and while I always appreciated the wry wisdom in this line: Stop worrying if your vision Is new. Let others make that decision-- They usually do. You keep moving on. it wasn't until a wise teacher pointed it out to me that I fully grasped the depth of this line: I chose, and my world was shaken-- So what? The choice may have been mistaken, The choosing was not. You have to move on. Highly recommended in all media: book, CD, DVD, live theatre. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

(Applause Books). Book by James Lapine Introduction by Andre Bishop Winner of the 1995 Pulitzer Prize " Sunday is itself a modernist creation, perhaps the first truly modernist work of musical theatre that Broadway has produced ... a watershed event that demands nothing less than a retrospective, even revisionist, look at the development of the serious Broadway musical." Frank Rich, The New York Times Magazine Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
