Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey haven’t said goodbye for good.
A new Instagram account emerged on Wednesday for the West End revival of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Sunday in the Park With George, and the account’s first post confirmed that Grande and Bailey have been cast in starring roles.
“@jbayleaf & @arianagrande will star in a new stage production of Stephen Sondheim’s legendary musical, Sunday In The Park With George,” reads the caption.
Marianne Elliott, a Tony Award winner, is set to direct, with Tom Scutt as the production designer. The musical, which is based on the book by James Lapine, is set to play at the Barbican Theatre in London.
Hours before the official Instagram announcement, the Wicked costars seemingly confirmed in a joint Instagram post that they’d be reuniting for Sondheim’s stage play. Taken at the Art Institute of Chicago, the photo shows Grande and Bailey looking at one another while sitting before Georges Seurat’s pointillist painting, “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.”
“All it has to be is good,” reads the caption, which is a key line in the musical.
The famous piece of art, painted from 1884 to 1886, is the inspiration behind Sunday in the Park With George. The play revolves around a fictionalized depiction of Seurat, who is deeply invested in his work, and his cynical great-grandson, who grows jaded as an artist in 1980s New York. Bailey will star as Seurat, and Grande will portray his neglected mistress, Dot.
The original production of the play opened off-Broadway in 1983, starring Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin. Sunday in the Park With George moved to Broadway a year later.
Deadline originally reported on the possibility of Grande and Bailey reteaming for the revival in late December.
Grande and Bailey famously costarred in the blockbuster Wicked films, with Grande playing Glinda the Good and Bailey portraying Fiyero and the Scarecrow. Their friendship is well-documented, as both stars have previously gushed about working together.

“I first met Jonathan Bailey at dance rehearsal for Wicked. I was nervous because I have always found him so brilliant — having bookmarked and memorized a few bootleg clips of him onstage in Company and The Last Five Years — but from the moment we met, I felt like I was giggling with someone I had known for 20 years,” Grande wrote for Time magazine last year. “I felt so immediately safe, connected to, and obsessed with my new scene partner and friend.”
“The first film, obviously with Ari, the collaboration was like putting a Mento in Diet Coke,” Bailey told the Hollywood Reporter last June. “It was twinkly, to say the least. And that was right for the chemistry between Fiyero and Glinda, and that sort of ability to keep everything alive and playful. I look forward to working together again for sure.”
Neither Grande nor Bailey is a stranger to the stage, either. The eternal sunshine pop star performed with the Fort Lauderdale Children’s Theater, landing her first role as the titular character in Annie, before going on to appear in their productions of The Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast. She was later cast as Charlotte, a cheerleader, in the Broadway production of 13 in 2008.
Bailey, who began his career as a child actor with the Royal Shakespeare Company, appeared in the West End production of Les Misérables at the age of 8. The Bridgerton star has appeared in several plays and musicals, including Othello, The Last Five Years, The York Realist and Richard II. For his portrayal of Jamie in the gender-swapped revival of Company, which was also directed by Elliott, Bailey won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in 2019.
