Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey reuniting for THIS project
'Wicked' stars Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey are reuniting in a new project
Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey are ready to work together again!
Ariana and Jonathan will take to the stage in a West End revival of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Pulitzer Prize–winning 1984 musical Sunday in the Park with George.
First reports about the production being in early stages came in December, with Deadline revealing that execs were aiming for a summer 2027 run at the Barbican Theatre in London.
The Wicked costars confirmed the reports on January 14 with a joint social media post, which contained a photo of them sitting 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.
"All it has to be is good," the duo wrote in the caption, quoting the show’s signature song Finishing the Hat.
Sunday in the Park with George follows artist Georges Seurat as he dedicates all his time and effort to completing what would become his masterpiece. In his obsession over the painting, George (Jonathan) grew apart from his loved ones, including his lover and muse, Dot (Ariana).
Tony and Olivier Award-winning Marianne Elliott is expected to direct the production.
For the Bridgerton star, this will mean a reunion with Elliot, with whom he worked in the West End production of Company. Before he was catapulted to global fame by the Netflix period piece, Jonathan Bailey’s performance in Getting Married Today won him an Olivier Award in 2019.
