Jonathan Bailey has left the planned production of Sunday in the Park with George, according to a report by TheWrap. The Barbican project had been announced with Bailey and Ariana Grande, but both stars are now out of the production.

The change follows Grande’s earlier withdrawal. The Associated Press reported that she would not take part while the production remained planned, and TheWrap now reports Bailey’s departure and the decision to recast.
The Barbican’s original announcement identifies the production, its creative team and the planned connection to the venue. It is the primary source for the project’s background, while current reports explain the cast change.
Producers have not turned the change into a cancellation announcement. The reported plan is to recast and continue work on the production, but the replacement names and final schedule need official confirmation.
For theatre audiences, that difference matters. A project can keep its creative identity while changing performers, yet ticket buyers should wait for updated cast information before assuming the original pairing will appear.
The current story is therefore about a production adjustment, not a new casting announcement. Readers should follow the Barbican or the production’s official channels for the next verified update.
That approach protects both the production and the audience. Once a replacement is named, ticket holders can judge the new cast on verified information instead of relying on speculation about who might step in.
The production title Sunday in the Park with George remains attached to the planned revival despite the cast changes. That is why the current update needs careful wording. A recast can preserve the production plan, but new performer names and ticket information should be published before audiences make assumptions.
