  Journal of San Diego History
Between the first comprehensive park planning of 1902 and naming the park Balboa in 1910, when preparation began for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition on the City land, the seeds of two great urban improvement movements were brought to San Diego by dedicated citizens.
This park style, first developed in eighteenth century England, broke from rectilinear and diagonal Renaissance and Baroque park patterns to espouse curvilinear landscaping which accentuated local, characteristic natural features; artfully framed distant "pictures" of nature with irregular clumps or "belts" of trees and tamed nature with wandering smooth lawns and "serpentine" lakes.
George Marston, and probably other members of the Park Committee, including Julius Wangenheim and U.S. Grant, Jr., son of the former President, were familiar with the urban improvement theory derived from the Columbian Exposition and with Robinson's writings.

 Sunday in the Park
The first act deals with George and his life, the loss of his love, and his struggle to complete the masterpiece which at the time was seen, at best, as a dubious effort.
George had the idea of painting with little dots of paint, arguing that the eye would see the two or three colors of the dots, and the mind would fill in the rest of the hues, thus making the viewer a complete participant in the experience.
The exhibit is more a way or the two Georges connecting and a chance to hear from Seurat’s daughter, Marie, now in her 90’s, who had been raised in America when Dot left George to marry the baker and start a new life.

 Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - "Sunday in the Park with George - 7/31/05
Sunday in the Park with George is a fictionalized story based on the work of pointillist painter George Seurat and his masterpiece “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.” In act one, we see the tedious work and life of the painter and his strained relationship with his mistress Dot.
While the material not centered on George, Dot, or Marie is less focused, it is nevertheless useful in defining the worlds in which those characters exist and also propel the story along.
Sunday in the Park with George is presented at the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art until August 6, 2005.

 Journal of San Diego History article
Of San Diego's considerable sights, 1,078-acre Balboa Park, particularly its world-famous zoo, is one of the best-known and best-loved attractions for City residents and visitors.
From the park founding in 1868 to the beginning of a comprehensive plan for it in 1902, the repeated struggles over City Park between land profiteers and park enthusiasts stimulated characteristic, American Victorian views and actions concerning the social, economic and aesthetic worth of public parks and natural landscape.
Major Eastern American parks were founded in the 19th century as public necessities in growing cities or in the 18th and 17th centuries as common grounds for pasturage, recreation, parades and public meetings.

 dvdfile.com: Sunday In The Park With George review
Stephen Sondheim's "Sunday in the Park With George," the musical that garnered the coveted Pulitzer prize for Drama in 1984, comes to DVD in style in this Image Entertainment release.
Given that "George" is seldom revived due to the enormous expense and difficulty of producing it on the scale required, this video becomes an important record of one of the landmark musicals of the 1980s
The story is at once simple and complex, a bouquet to the creative process and a testament to the trials of creative genius, both to the artist and those who love him.

Sunday in the Park with George is an absolute must-see for anyone interested in musical theatre, and a must-own for anyone with a passion for it.
A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte by Georges Seurat is one of the great paintings of the world, and in "Sunday in the Park with George," book writer James Lapine and composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim bring a story based on the work brilliantly to life.
SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, however, is one of the grand exceptions.

 Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews: Los Angeles - "Sunday in the Park with George" - 3/19/03
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's fanciful take on painter Georges Seurat and the creation of his masterpiece, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte," is finally getting a Los Angeles opening nineteen years after its Broadway debut.
But if his mastery of the tempos were just a little bit better, he could immerse himself much more in his character and devote more attention to delivering the meaning in the songs, rather than just their words.
The costumes for a production of Sunday are limited to some degree by the images in Seurat's painting, but LeBlanc seemed only partially constrained, putting Dot in a dress that bears no resemblance to the dress seen on the woman in the painting.

 Sunday in the Park with George, a CurtainUp London review
George (Daniel Evans) explains to us in an almost scientific way what he is trying to achieve with the fusion of colour; where, for instance, red and purple and white become violet in the eye of the viewer, rather than being mixed on the palette.
Dot the model talks about her attraction to the artist ("artists are bizarre, fixed, cold, that's you George you're bizarre, fixed, cold, I like that in a man, fixed, cold...") despite the number of cold, damp Sundays she has to spend standing still for art.
Driven as he is by his art, George is limited in his ability to connect with his girlfriend, his mother and even himself.
