The Los Angeles Times notes, “Pasadena Playhouse has pulled out all the stops for Sunday In the Park With George, the first main-stage offering of the festival. Directed by Sarna Lapine, this sumptuous production boasts a full orchestra under the music direction of Broadway veteran Andy Einhorn and an extensive (and no doubt murderously expensive) cast.”

Some of the celebs in attendance for the opening included Rosie O’Donnell, Anna Camp, Alfred Molina, Once Upon a Time‘s Lana Parrilla, Young Sheldon‘s Iain Armitage, Sex/Life‘s Jonathan Sadowski, and Broadway star Carmen Cusack.
