  • Jenna Russell is far better than Bernadette Peters who is always Bernadette Peters I think.

  • @Giovanni222 Where does "pretence" come into it? I'm not pretending about anything I say. Why should I admire someone who is a master of pastiche for goodness sake? My admiration is reserved for composers who create their own singular voice.

  • @ukdavepianoman Oh hello there pretence.

    I love Sunday in the Park with George, in fact I adore it, but there is far too strong a tendency to turn a blind eye towards Sondheim's faults among fans. ALW certainly has a more limited imagination and less expansive emotive pallet, and Time Rice's lyrics are generally woeful, but ALW is a master of pastiche, has written more than 'the odd tune' and has created some great characters.

  • Sondheim and Webber in the same sentence....oh dear oh dear. Sondheim is a genius, the greatest musical writer there is. Webber, well he can write the odd tune but he is not in the same league as Sondheim. Nowhere near.

  • 6:35. Can't stop watching it.

  • Through design, composition, balance, light and harmony.

    Artists are bizarre, fixed, cold... that's you, George.

  • Love Jenna Russell and Daniel Evans! <3 Brilliant performance! Just as good as Bernadette's.

  • Sondheim & Webber are my favorite musical composers of all time. 

  • @MrGreenBandAid

    Peters is an phenomenon. It is a major work. This is a show riddled with incredible ideas and it is incredibley moving and keeps the listener captivated whilst choking back tears not to miss a moment. I do like this perfomance though. It has the Sondheim eyebrows.
