In Sunday in the Park With George, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s masterwork about the art of making art, Patinkin played both Georges Seurat in 1884 and his artist great-grandson a century later.

James said, “Do you draw?” My father always used to make a joke about how he could draw a box, where you draw one box and then you put the other box inside and then you connect the four lines.” I said proudly, “Well, that’s all I can draw.”

I would sit in rehearsals, and every night, I would draw Bernadette on my easel pad in the very first scene when she sang “Sunday in the Park With George.” My dresser, James Nadeau, saved every sketch pad, and he gave them to my wife, unbeknownst to me. She had them bound in a gorgeous book, and I occasionally take one out and give it to somebody as a gift. — Mandy Patinkin // NY Mag's 29 BROADWAY LEGENDS (April 2025)

In Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends, a revue opening April 8, Peters leads a celebration of the master songwriter’s craft.

When I’m singing “Not a Day Goes By,” I’m thinking about Steve. There are two versions of that song in Merrily We Roll Along: a happy version and a sad version. The happy version, you’d call it, is not quite happy but more involved with love or involved with the perfect. I’ve always sung the sad version in concert, so now I have to relearn the lyrics.

When he wrote, he really thought of all the best choices for character — each show had its own persona, and each character had its own persona. He knows deeply what the character’s going through, so you follow the map, so to speak, and be as truthful as you can. Even technically, he understood holding a note on a certain vowel is more important than giving a vowel that you’re going to swallow and gargle. Because his words are so well chosen — not the norm now — people really appreciate that he’s become our Shakespeare of musical theater.

When I was in Sunday in the Park With George, the first number he had for us was “Color and Light,” where Mandy Patinkin is painting and I’m powdering and it’s a back-and-forth, and I went, Oh, I just love this. He was very kind to actors. I remember once when I was singing “Children Will Listen” in Into the Woods, I forgot the lyric. Steve was there. He came backstage and the first thing he said was “Oh my God, I couldn’t get up there on the stage in front of people and do what you are doing.” He was just so kind about it.
