Following his role in the movie adaptation of Jonathan Larson’s musical, Garfield has shared ambitions of taking up a role in a Stephen Sondheim classic.
He told Variety at the SAG Awards this week of starring in a Broadway musical: “I would love to. I’d love to do Georges Seurat in Sunday in the Park with George.
“That would be so much fun.”
He added of the show’s late composer, Sondheim: “We need him, we miss him.”

Directed by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, the film stars Garfield as Jon alongside a stellar cast including Vanessa Hudgens, Alexandra Shipp, Robin de Jesus, Joshua Henry, Mj Rodriguez and Judith Light – plus more Broadway cameos than you can count.
