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)

Currently doing a deep clean in my room when I discovered this treasure under the bed✨✨✨✨✨✨

(inspired by this drawing on the right I'm not sure who is the OG creator of the drawing but credits to them✨🙌🏻🥰)

BACKSTORY!!!/Rewind(⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠):

I was like 9 years old when I did this, which was like a long time ago, been a Hamilton fan for 5 years already (awesome, wow)... I remember going through Pinterest while listening to helpless and saw the art piece and immediately went to work and did a recreation while bursting the original cast recording of Hamilton so loud.🥹😭🥺

Missing my kid me 🥹🥹🥹🥹

09.03.25 I got to see the finale of the OBC in the West End for Hadestown.

There wasn't a dry eye in the house and the way everyone danced with such joy at the end was truly beautiful. I wish I had more words for this but baby I was vibing for every beat of this show 🙏

We were able to meet 3 of the workers and Mr Hades himself afterwards and they were all so lovely.

An absolute dream come true, I know it's sappy, but I just cannot believe I got to see this.

Happy travels 💛

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream: The Musical (original Broadway cast recording)

[days-of-wicked-intermission]

December 18: day 26 of wicked intermission!

if you could meet one cast member from the obc, who would you meet and why?

[killingfrankie]

favourite song from the bway production, GO‼️

this is such a good question. i have been a fan of the musical since 2019! however you did ask someone with raging autism and adhd. i am extremely indecisive so i’ll give you multiple!! HERE ARE MY FAVS. I ROTATE THROUGH THESE.

i never used to be a big ‘stupid with love’ fan until the movie came out and i really fw ‘stupid with love’ (OBC) atm. i personally also enjoy angouries version but right now i have erikas on repeat.

i also have really loooved ‘where do you belong’ recently. and to go off track i’m sooo pissed they cut damian’s songs from the stage version.

this leads into how much i love ‘stop’. jaquel would’ve eaten stop right up and i told him that myself.

i LOVE ‘meet the plastics’ so much. and i’m upset they cut out gretchen and karen’s verses for the movie but i got over it.

i’m a huge gretchen stan. so ‘what’s wrong with me’ is also on this list

‘someone gets hurt’ and ‘world burn’ are also some of my favourites. i think regina as a character is so complex and i love her songs. also pissed they didn’t cast an aaron that would sing for the movie but i still like chris briney ig. anyways i love the moment between regina and aaron on the stage production.

i think putting ‘revenge party’ is a given because it’s just so fun.

also ‘someone gets hurt (reprise)’ i am obsessed with janis. so also ‘i’d rather be me’

I FEEL LIKE IVE ADDED TOO MANY SO I WILL STOP NOW BUT THANKS FOR GIVING ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO OFF.
