Sunday in the Park with George [1987 and 2006]

I've always loved looking at Seurat paintings even before I ever heard Sunday in the Park with George. I had a chance to take a closer look at the paintings when I was at the British Museum this past summer. They were wonderful. :)

The 1987 production starred Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters... while the 2006 London revival production starred Daniel Evans and Jenna Russell which will be presented by the Roundabout Theatre Group at Studio 54 this Spring.

I had the opportunity to see and hear Daniel Evans sing Sunday with Maria Friedman at Cadogan Hall during the same UK trip - and he sounded lovely :)

Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.
borrowed from absinthelisa, who gave me an N.

1. New York City. Too many reasons to narrow down to why I love the city, but suffice it to say... the theatre offerings are very, very high up there. ;) Would move there in the proverbial New York Minute if I could find something that paid not only a living wage, but enough to let me pack up and move. :)
2. Neil Patrick Harris does a great rendition of Not While I'm Around... one of my favourite actors in a musical that I love. :) That, and he's a great Lee Harvey in a different Sondheim musical (Assassins).
3. Napa Valley. A beautiful place that I spent some time at, in 2001. A micro-climate on its own, I found it fascinating to see so many wineries in one area :) That, and the lovely wines. :) Wafting, wafting...
4. Nobu. A restaurant I want to try in NYC when I get the chance. I passed by it in London but didn't go in. It comes with stars and recommendations. I just want to have a meal there :)
5. Nevermore. A poem with ravens and Poe. :)
6. Numbers. Six is the first perfect number [1+2+3 = 6 = 1*2*3] I fell in love with Number Theory and Number History during University. Even now, I find the significance of the multiples of 12 in history to be something I hold very, very dear. :)
7. Nuance. I want to and do, listen for nuance. :)
8. Norah Jones. A lovely voice, and certainly, her song selections are very soothing at times, and energetic at others. :)
9. Nine. Another number I hold significance to. Multiples of three, one less than ten and all that. :)
10. Nom Nom Nom. For some unknown reason, I've always envisioned the Swedish Chef going (instead of: Bork! Bork! Bork!) Nom! Nom! Nom! Strange, but true.
