Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey’s ‘Sunday in the Park With George’ Revival Delays Ticket Sales Until Fall

Ticket sales for Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey’s revival of “Sunday in the Park With George” in London have been delayed until fall.

However, the show is still going ahead as planned next summer.

Originally tickets were set to go on sale in May but Variety understands the producers have decided to wait until Grande wraps “The Eternal Sunshine Tour,” which she is currently taking around the U.S., to launch sales. The tour is set to conclude on Sept. 1 with a 10-night residency at the O2 Arena in London, U.K.

“Tickets for ‘Sunday In The Park With George’ are expected to go on-sale in the autumn, after her tour comes to an end,” a source tells Variety.

Grande will star as both Dot and Marie in the revival of Stephen Sondheim’s beloved musical, following in the footsteps of Bernadette Peters, who originated the double-role in the inaugural 1983 production. Bailey will play George Seurat, whose famous painting, “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” inspired the musical.

Tony and Olivier Award winner Marianne Elliot is directing the revival, with design by Tom Scutt.

Auditions for the other roles are understood to be taking place this summer. The show is set to run next summer at the Barbican Centre in London with producers eyeing an early June 2027 launch.

Grande and Bailey famously co-starred (alongside Cynthia Erivo) in the billion-dollar double feature adaptation of “Wicked” so the Barbican and producers are conscious that demand will likely be high when ticket sales launch and are keen to avoid any tech-related hiccups.

“Sunday in the Park With George” is produced by Empire Street Productions and presented in association with the Barbican.
