- The commentary track featured on the commercial DVD release of the original Broadway production of Sunday in the Park with George, featuring composer Stephen Sondheim, director and book writer James Lapine, and original stars Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters. Laughs are had, memories are recounted, and tears are (repeatedly) shed.
Resplendent show. Thank you for uploading this marvelous commentary. I’m in tears. I’m sure I am not alone.
can confirm you aren't :')
Rest In Peace, Mr. Sondheim.

In the Princess Bride, Patinkin and Cary Elwes talk about getting swordsmanship lessons from a master swordsman; consequently that sword fighting scene is one of the best displays of swordsmanship to date, in a comedy movie no less! I think it's so cool that they went the extra mile to make Patinkin take art lessons, and actually draw on stage (imagine the stress!). I didn't realize he actually sketched, it must've been awesome to have been sitting in the front row for those shows!
I have come to the conclusion that a full life involves life long learning, and while not all of us can be Picasso and Einstein and Euler, that feeling of 'oh, I didn't know I could do that' is one of the best feelings next to a work well done.
So sweet! Such a lovely comment 🥰 Thank you for this 🧡🍀✨🌻
That this exists is incredible. Here we are, sitting in the living room of (probably) Sondheim’s flat, and these four are just chitchatting away about their memories and observations. The mic is closest to James, and one can almost picture him holding an iPhone in his lap while everyone speaks. Really enjoying this.
It's most likely a diaphragm mic 🎤, not a cheapo phone
@@smurf902 @durmdave2673 This was recorded before cell phones were a thing. It's amazing that someone uploaded it.
Fantastic! Such a treasure to be saved.
What a "once in a lifetime" experience to hear the insights and memories of the stars and creators of my favorite musicals "Sunday In The Park". I felt like I was sitting with old friends drinking brandy and sharing the inside story of how this masterpiece was made. They are watching the tape of the work and it jogs their memories about this artistic journey. This tape should be in the Smithsonian.
I love this musical. What is it like to love someone who is consumed by beauty?
Wow - thank you for posting this
So many big names here: Mandy Patinkin may be better known as Inigo Montoya in and Brent Spiner became Data from
Charles Kimbrough - Murphy Brown, Robert Westenburgh, Many other Bway shows later, eventually Howard McGillin as well, many other theater gigs.
1:49:48 WHAT?!? How have I never seen or heard that before. Of Course! of Course!
What year did this discussion take place? Must be after the 10th anniversary reunion?
According to Amazon, the DVD was released in 2010, so probably right around there
Mandy was interrupted by Stephen like every sentence
The 6 hour interview with Sondheim is infuriating, he interrupts before the entire question is even asked, but I realized that's just how he is. It takes real getting used to. It's almost as if he doesn't agree with him at every turn. But at times he does expand upon and include Mandy.
