Ariana Grande was set to appear in London’s revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George, but the singer and actor has pulled out of the performances amid a planned wholesale step back from public life. The production is set to come to the Barbican next summer, with tickets due to go on sale this Autumn. An Ariana Grande representative told People magazine, she will be “taking a step back” from public life, following “endless, ongoing public scrutiny.” However, Grande has intimated multiple times over the last year she may need to take a career break. Ariana Grande stars in Focker-in-Law, due in cinemas in late November, and we can imagine she may be contractually obliged to take part in promotion for the film around its release.
