"Sunday, with its focus on the tension between life and art, is one of his most achingly tender works, and Buntrock (director) underscores its visceral punch."

"Meticulously thought-through revival (originally produced at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory in 2005 and later transferred to the West End) brings the 1984 musical back to Broadway for the first time, carrying an exhilarating emotional charge." & "It’s a difficult but infinitely rewarding musical of disparate elements that combine to achieve true harmony, bringing passionate insight to the relationship between art, artists and audience, and to the boundless possibilities of art itself. The clarity and depth of understanding in this revival make it an experience to be savored."
