Overview

  • Producers confirmed a summer 2027 run at London’s Barbican, presented by Empire Street Productions in association with the Barbican.
  • Jonathan Bailey will play George and Ariana Grande will play Dot, following their joint Instagram tease at the Art Institute of Chicago captioned “All it has to be is good.”
  • Tony- and Olivier-winning director Marianne Elliott will helm the revival, with Tom Scutt designing the physical production.
  • Tickets will be available exclusively via the Barbican website and box office starting May 2026, with exact dates and further casting to be announced.
