Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande in SITPWG?

Rumors are swirling on X that they will be starring in a West End revival directed by Marianne Elliot. 
 

Grande also said this in her recent NY Times feature 

and teased something stage-related coming up soon: “It’s not on Broadway, but it’s something that I’m very excited about and inspired by.” 

The more I think about it, the more I can really see it. Both of them are age appropriate for the roles, and this would give Grande the chance to show off her live theater chops in one of the best female musical roles written for the stage.

There was a rumor a while ago about Bailey doing this show and then he announced his acting hiatus so I just wrote it off. 
 

But could you even imagine?

I remember there being rumors a while ago of Andrew Garfield starring in it.

It's hard to imagine a theatre big enough or ticket prices high enough. It would also thrust Sunday in the Park into the mainstream culture in a way that is very unusual for the show and Sondheim. And the chances of a film higher than ever if they could bring that cast in too. Of course I'd love it to happen, but does make me nervous!

I'd love to see what Elliot does with this no matter who is starring in it. But this would be insane. I'd love to hear both their vocals on it.

Andrew Garfield and Jonathan Bailey both have a past working relationship with Marianne Elliott, but Bailey’s star is brighter at the moment and he’d sell more tickets than Garfield (not that he needs to if he’s opposite Grande). Personally, I can’t stand Andrew Garfield, so I’d also just prefer he no longer be rumored/attached if this is true.

Any way you look at it: With a cast like this, art IS easy
