The rumours were true! After the speculation last year Jonathon Bailey has seemingly posted a confirmation on his Instagram. Before the official word was out. The Wicked stars will be reuniting on stage next summer for a revival of the classic Sondheim musical Sunday in the Park with George. This will also be Ariana Grande West End debut.

Sunday in the Park with George is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Lapine. The show was loosely based on A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. by Georges Seurat, a renowned painter. The show has not been seen in a major production in London in almost 20 years.

Marianne Elliott will be directing this new production and reuniting with Jonathan Bailey after their previous work on Cock and Company. Tom Scutt will be working on the design. Which is very exciting after his incredible work on another Sondheim revival, Into the Woods.

The production will open at the Barbican Centre in summer 2027. Tickets will be on sale exclusively at the Barbican box office. They will go on sale in May this year. More specific info will be announced soon!

The final stops for this show has been announced. Starlight Express will unfortunately be closing in the West End on the 3rd May 2026. After a successful 2 year stint at the Wembley Park Troubadour Theatre. The show will end it’s run with the title of the longest-running Andrew Lloyd Webber musical revival in London in 20 years.

It’s not all sad new though! The show has announced a 2027 world tour with this production. Although dates and venues have not yet been announced it’s exciting to know this production will have a future life beyond London.

Starlight Express tells the story of Rusty a steam train whose dream is to become the fastest engine in the world. Along the way he faces adversaries and might also fall in love. The show is famously performed on roller skates and has been seen by more than 30 million people since it’s premiere back in 1984. It has gone through some iterations in the past 40 years with some songs removed and added. A brand new soundtrack with the OG Wembley cast was released in 2024 and has since amassed 17 million streams. So though the Starlight Express end date is set, there’s always a chance for it to return.
