[00:11.35] The challenge: To bring order to the whole

[00:17.43] Composition,
[00:19.61] Balance,
[00:22.56] Light,
[00:25.85] And harmony.
[00:41.21] "Sunday In The Park With George" by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim.
[00:44.90] And I got to play George. George Seurat.
[00:48.89] But, ahm, I knew nothing about painting.
[00:51.69] So Carol, my wife, and I went off to Paris to the Musée d'Orsay to find his paintings.
[00:58.86] We turned up at this, eh, amazing building,
[01:02.77] and, eh, we went in and -
[01:05.69] Look, if you come from where I come from you would never expect to see these things in a whole lifetime.
[01:10.59] And there they were, things you'd only ever seen in books.
[01:12.90] So... Cezannes and... waterlilies... that Monet fellow...
[01:18.32] And, eh... and Degas... and, eh... Toulouse-Lautrecs and Van Goghs, and, eh...
[01:26.45] And then there was this one painting... a Seurat...
[01:32.63] Look, it's made of a sort of dots...
[01:37.50] Thousands, millions of dots...
[01:43.18] And then - I got the score!
[01:48.79] Talk about dots...
[01:50.37] Oh, so much to learn!
[01:52.22] And I have to learn to paint
[01:53.33] Paint sticks, paint dogs...
[01:55.35] Sorry, darling?... A baby?!
[01:59.17] When? How long?...
[02:01.99] But I've gotta paint hats!
[02:04.17] More red...
[02:06.28] Me, a father...
[02:08.39] And a little more red...
[02:09.85] And I have to improve my articulation
[02:12.32] Blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue
[02:14.60] Even even... Good...
[02:16.59] And I have to rehearse my intonation
[02:19.73] Bumbum bum bumbumbum bumbum bum...
[02:23.54] And then I have to learn to count the beats
[02:25.37] (Two three four)
