2024-05-11 2024-05-12 PORCHLIGHT IN CONCERT: SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE  May 11 & 12, 2024

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine
Directed by Artistic Director Michael Weber
Music Directed by David Fiorello

Porchlight celebrates the 40th Anniversary of one of Stephen Sondheim’s most celebrated works with a new special event concert staging. Audiences will experience Sondheim and James Lapine’s Pulitzer-, Tony- and Oliver-winning musical masterpiece with the original Broadway orchestrations and an all-star cast – live on the historic Studebaker stage. Based on Georges Seurat‘s painting “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,” which is on display just down the street at the Art Institute of Chicago, this limited engagement brings to life the rich score telling the story of the months leading to the completion of Seurat’s famous work in 1886 and the effects of the artist and the art on people over the following 100 years.
