==== ''Sunday in the Park with George'' ====
Sondheim decided "that there are better places to start a show" and found a new collaborator in [[James Lapine]] after he saw Lapine's ''[[Twelve Dreams]]'' off-Broadway in 1981: "I was discouraged, and I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't discovered ''Twelve Dreams'' at the [[Public Theatre]]";{{r|wolf}} Lapine has a taste "for the [[avant-garde]] and for visually oriented theater in particular". Their first collaboration was ''[[Sunday in the Park with George]]'' (1984), with Sondheim's music evoking [[Georges Seurat]]'s [[pointillism]]. Sondheim and Lapine won the 1985 [[Pulitzer Prize for Drama]] for the play,<ref name="pulitzer.org">{{Cite web|title=1985 Pulitzer Prizes|url=https://www.pulitzer.org/prize-winners-by-year/1985|access-date=November 29, 2021|website=pulitzer.org|language=en}}</ref> and it was revived on Broadway in 2008, and again in a limited run in 2017.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Zinoman|first=Jason|author-link=Jason Zinoman|date=February 17, 2008|title=Who's That Kid Staging Sondheim?|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/17/theater/17zino.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080218235152/http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/17/theater/17zino.html |archive-date=February 18, 2008 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=November 29, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=McPhee|first=Ryan|date=February 23, 2017|title=Jake Gyllenhaal-Led Sunday in the Park With George Opens on Broadway Feb. 23|url=http://www.playbill.com/article/jake-gyllenhaal-sunday-in-the-park-with-george-opens-on-broadway-feb-23|access-date=November 29, 2021|website=Playbill|language=en}}</ref>
