Jonathan Bailey is no longer set to appear in the West End revival of *Sunday in the Park With George* after producers confirm his departure following Ariana Grande’s exit last month. Bailey was scheduled to play painter George Seurat, while Grande was set to star as Dot.
Producers say the show remains planned for a summer opening at the Barbican Centre, but casting discussions are now underway to fill Bailey’s role. PinkNews reports that the production had been positioned as a reunion for the “Wicked” co-stars on stage, and that the Barbican revival now needs a new George and Dot. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: some focus on the lost onstage reunion, while others center on the confirmed timeline and the next casting steps.
Across reports, the common thread is that both leads have exited, and the revival moves forward with replacement casting rather than the original star pairing.
