'Putting it Together' chronicle the two-year odyssey of creating the iconic Broadway musical 'Sunday in the Park with George'. In 1984, James Lapine, then a fledgling playwright and director, met Stephen Sondheim, already a legendary Broadway composer, and the two decided to turn Georges Seurat's mastework 'Sunday on the Island of La Grand Jatte' into a musical. Through Lapine's recollections, conversations between Lapine, Sondheim, and the original cast and crew of the production, and a treasure trove of personal photographs, sketches, script notes, and sheet music from the making of the show, the two Broadway icons lift the curtain on their beloved musical.
