Jake Gyllenhaal-Led Sunday in the Park With George Opens on Broadway Feb. 23

Co-starring Annaleigh Ashford, the Broadway production relights the Hudson Theatre.

The semi-staged revival of Sunday in the Park with George, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford, officially opens at Broadway's Hudson Theatre February 23. The production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1984 Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine musical is playing a strictly limited 10-week engagement through April 23.

The Sarna Lapine-helmed staging, which began as a benefit for New York City Center last fall, started performances February 11 and reopens the Hudson, which first opened its doors in 1903 but has not housed a Broadway production since 1968. Gyllenhaal was originally announced to play the venue with a revival of Burn This, which was subsequently postponed.
