Barbican Sunday in the Park With George Canceled After Grande and Bailey Exit

TL;DR
London’s Barbican revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park With George has been canceled after Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey exited; Empire Street Productions will retain rights with plans to present the production in 2028 (not 2027 as previously scheduled). Grande was set to play Dot/Marie and Bailey to star opposite as George Seurat; both exits followed Grande’s decision to step back from public visibility after her Eternal Sunshine tour, prompting auditions for replacements.
