The second act concerns Seurat's purported great-grandson, also named George and also an artist, as he struggles to find a reason to continue making art.
Sunday in the Park with George opened at the Booth Theatre on Broadway on May 2, 1984 and starred Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters. It won the New York Drama Critics Circle award for Best Musical, and it also won the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for drama.
