Published on 14 January 2026
Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande will star in a new stage production of Stephen Sondheim’s legendary musical Sunday in the Park with George.
The pair previously starred together in the film adaptations of Wicked Parts One and Two, portraying Fiyero and Glinda respectively. Grande will make her West End debut in the show.
Performances will begin at the Barbican Centre, London, in Summer 2027.
Sunday in the Park with George has music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Lapine. The production will be directed by Marianne Elliot, with design by Tom Scutt.
Sunday in the Park with George explores the life of artist Georges Seurat as he struggles to balance creative ambition with personal connection, examining the cost of making art and the legacy artists leave behind across generations.
The production is produced by Empire Street Productions and presented in association with the Barbican.
Further information about the production will be announced at a later date.
