Jonathan Bailey is exiting the West End revival of Stephen Sondheim’s *Sunday in the Park with George*, following Ariana Grande’s earlier departure, according to multiple outlets. Bailey is said to have made the announcement through a statement posted on his social media.
Deadline reports that after Grande was forced to leave earlier in the month, sources indicate Bailey is also exiting the production. ComingSoon.net likewise says Bailey has parted ways with the anticipated revival. In a similar vein, the Daily Mail and The Mirror frame Bailey’s decision as reflecting his support for Grande, though they differ in emphasis and tone rather than in the core facts.
Across coverage, the timeline is consistent: Grande leaves first, and Bailey’s exit follows soon after. The outlets attribute Bailey’s withdrawal to personal circumstances connected to Grande, citing language from his posted statement in which he describes Grande as a close friend and expresses support. None of the reports provide detailed production or contractual reasons beyond citing his exit after Grande’s departure.
