"A photo shared to both of their Instagram profiles shows the pair sat in front of the Georges Seurat painting which the production is based on, captioned with lyrics from the show. The original musical, created by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, debuted on Broadway in 1984. A London reboot is rumoured for the Barbican Theatre in 2027, but the venue is yet to confirm."
"Sunday in the Park with George was inspired by French painter Georges Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, in which a fictional version of the artist is consumed by his work. The character, fixated by a particular hat in his painting, sings "all it has to be is good", the lyric quoted in the co-stars' Instagram caption."
"While their roles are unconfirmed, the musical's female lead is Dot, Georges' lover. The pair grow apart as Georges' attachment to his art becomes more and more fierce. Ariana will already spend part of 2026 in London as she has 10 dates scheduled for The O2 across August and September as part of her Eternal Sunshine Tour. Last November, she warned fans it's likely to be her last tour for a "long time", but her post with her Wicked co-star suggests she's not"
