"In Sunday in the Park with George, ...the songwriter Stephen Sondheim and the playwright-director James Lapine demand that an audience radically change its whole way of looking at the Broadway musical. ...Mr. Sondheim and Mr. Lapine have created an audacious, haunting and, in its own intensely personal way, touching work. ...Stand back and you'll see that this evening's two theater artists, Mr. Sondheim and Mr. Lapine, have woven all those imaginative possibilities into a finished picture with a startling new glow."
