Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey Tease West End 'Sunday in the Park With George' Revival

Reports point to a Marianne Elliott–led Barbican run in summer 2027, but no formal announcement has been made.

Overview

  • The Wicked co-stars shared a joint Instagram photo at the Art Institute of Chicago with the caption “All it has to be is good,” a lyric from the Sondheim musical.
  • Industry outlets report producers are targeting London’s Barbican Theatre for summer 2027, with the venue declining to comment so far.
  • Marianne Elliott is reportedly expected to direct the revival, following earlier stories that the project had been in early talks.
  • The timing aligns with Grande’s planned break after her 2026 tour and Bailey’s stated pause to focus on The Shameless Fund, making a 2027 stage run feasible.
  • Sunday in the Park With George, by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, is a Pulitzer Prize–winning 1984 musical; a London run would mark Grande’s West End debut.
