Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey confirmed they will reunite for a West End revival of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1984 musical ‘Sunday in the Park with George’, sharing a photo on January 14th, 2026 of themselves seated at The Art Institute of Chicago in front of Georges Seurat’s iconic painting “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,” which inspired the musical. The production targets a summer 2027 run at the Barbican Theatre in London with direction expected from Tony and Olivier Award winner Marianne Elliott, who previously collaborated with Bailey on the acclaimed gender-swapped revival of ‘Company’. Bailey will play painter Georges Seurat while Grande takes on the role of Dot, his lover and muse, in a musical that explores the cost of artistic obsession across generations, with the second act jumping forward a century to examine the legacy of Seurat’s work. The roles were originated on Broadway by Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters in 1984 and created in London by Philip Quast and Maria Friedman in a 1990 National Theatre staging, with subsequent revivals including a 2008 Broadway production starring Daniel Evans and Jenna Russell and a 2017 Broadway staging featuring Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Ashford. Bailey earned an Olivier Award in 2019 for his rapid-fire performance of “Getting Married Today” in Elliott’s ‘Company’ before appearing in Bridgerton, while Grande began her career on Broadway as a teenager in the musical ’13’ in 2008 before launching her pop career and recently starring as Glinda opposite Bailey’s Fiyero in the film adaptation of ‘Wicked’. The production marks Grande’s first stage role in nearly two decades and her West End debut, following her 2026 Eternal Sunshine tour, which she recently told Amy Poehler may be her last time on the road for a long while.
