The West End run of Sunday in the Park with George, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, has been officially postponed until 2021.
There is no date yet for the rescheduled production, however the transfer of Stephen Sondheim’s musical will re-book its season at the Savoy Theatre next year.
The highly anticipated show also stars Tony Award winner Annaleigh Ashford and was set to open for previews at the Savoy in June, following artist Georges Seurat as he works on completing his most famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.
Current ticket-holders will have to re-book for the postponed run, but will be contacted by the ticket providers about priority access.
Gyllenhaal said: “We are, of course, disappointed to postpone our upcoming season, but know that safety is a top priority and science must lead the way. London’s West End is incredibly special to me, and it will be an absolute honour to return to the stage so we can eventually share Sunday In The Park With George with audiences in 2021.”
Gyllenhaal and Ashford originally starred in a concert version of the show in 2016, returning to the production a year later under the direction of Sarna Lapine. Lapine, the niece of Sondheim’s co-writer James Lapine, will also direct the West End revival.
