I love this musical. Sondheim is awesome.
I've not been able to pin point exactly why, but for whatever reason, the music captivates me. I love how Sondheim plays with the music in this show.
I also love his lyrics.
"We do not belong together, and we should have belonged together."
"I chose and my world was shaken, so what? The choice may have been mistaken, the choosing was not."
"The art of making art is putting it together."
"There are really only two thing worth while that we leave behind; children and art."
And there are so many more.
If you are not a musical person, I don't suggest this for your first. It is very different from any musical you've ever seen. It doesn't follow a clear plot line. It is based of the painting "A Sunday afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" and is also based on what little is known about the painter George Seurat.
It really just is great.
