Sept. 14 (UPI) -- The planned West End revival of Sunday in the Park with George has been delayed to 2028.
Empire Street Productions announced Monday that the musical "will no longer proceed as scheduled" in 2027, with the company to "retain the rights with a view to presenting the production in 2028."
The news follows word that Wicked co-stars Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey have dropped out of the production. Grande announced in August that she "will be taking a step back from visibility" after the conclusion of her Eternal Sunshine tour, with Bailey later confirming he has "decided to also step back" from the revival.
Sunday in the Park with George features music and lyrics by famed composer Stephen Sondheim. The musical, inspired by the Georges Seurat painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, debuted on Broadway in 1984 and on West End in 2006.
Marianne Elliot was to direct the West End revival, which was originally scheduled to open at London's Barbican Centre in summer 2027.

When a subject has been as exhaustively covered — and as infamous — as Elon Musk, the electric-car-entrepreneur-turned-rocket-man-turned-richest-billionaire-in-the-universe-turned-Twitter-disruptor-turned-DOGE-destroyer-turned-God-only-knows-what-he'll-do-next, reviews of a documentary about him tend to lead by plucking out the film's incendiary bits of investigative reportage, the ones that feel worthy of a news headline. "Musk," Alex Gibney's 3-hour-and-45-minute documentary about the tech bro who would be king, has a handful of those.
The biggest revelation, to me, was the film's detailed history of Musk's attempt to put a self-driving car on the market — a technology that's sure to be here at some point, though Musk, in his race to be first, was far too eager to announce that it had already happened. Tesla released its Autopilot driver-assist system in 2015 (and then the Full Self-Driving Beta program in 2020), marketing the new technology with ads that exaggerated the car's powers. And so people were suckered. From the outset, there were accidents. More than 60 fatalities have been linked to Tesla's driver-assistance systems. Talk about something that could put a dent in your image! But Musk, for the most part, succeeded in hushing up the lawsuits, the federal investigations, and the fatal crashes, which were evidence of a recklessness that should have given the whole world pause.

As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle prepare to take up residency again in the U.K. six years after giving up their royal roles, Markle will be serving up her fashion influence and continue running her brand, As Ever.

While millions around the globe are chiming in about what their surprise decision could mean to the modern monarchy, others speculated about how commercial prospects may have played into their decision to relocate with their two children Archie, 7, and Lillibet, 5. Much has happened since Princess Diana and King Charles III's younger son lost his honorary military and royal patronage appointments in 2021.

The prince spelled out his many grievances with his kin in his memoir "Spare," and the pair sounded off in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. Harry has also openly criticized his home country for not providing his family of four with security. As for how that will be handled in a few weeks upon their return, Prime Minister Andy Burnham described that as "a private matter."

Although King Charles III and Queen Camilla were reunited with Harry's two children earlier this month at the monarch's private country estate Highgrove House, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, were not there. The strained relations between Harry and his brother continue to be scrutinized on social media and in traditional media.

David Haigh, founder and chief executive officer of the independent brand evaluation consultancy firm Brand Finance, said, "My take is they clearly haven't succeeded in America like they thought they would."

Acknowledging how Harry and Markle each have critics and loyalists, Haigh said that Harry is "much more highly regarded in the U.K. than Markle is. And the dynamic will shift much more in his favor."

To that point, the latest YouGov public opinion poll of Harry gives him a 27 percent popularity ranking and Markle an 18 percent rating. But Markle has a track record for boosting designers' sales by wearing their label. She sported 16 Australian labels during a trip Down Under in April. That resulted in a total of $51.6 million in media impact value over a four-day stretch, according to Launchmetrics.

Carolina Herrera, Heidi Merrick, Dior, Valentino, Mackage, Emilia Wickstead, Victoria Beard, Reformation, Jason Wu and Anine Bing are among the many brands that 45-year-old Markle has rotated into her wardrobe. In addition to launching the lifestyle brand As Ever in the spring of last year, the former "Suits" actress and her husband were the executive producers for the documentary "Cookie Queens" about American Girl Scouts' cookie selling.

Last month, she earned an Emmy nomination for her Netflix lifestyle series "With Love, Meghan." In September 2020, the husband-and-wife team's Archewell Productions secured a multiyear deal with Netflix, which was reportedly in the $60 million to $100 million range.

Taylor Swift was spotted enjoying herself in London as her husband, Travis Kelce, returned to Chiefs' training post-wedding. The Grammy winner had a fun girls' night out in the English capital late Wednesday. Notably, this is her first solo outing since tying the knot with Kelce on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The wedding was reportedly attended by 1,000 guests.
Taylor Swift enjoyed a wholesome girls' night out in London, her first solo outing since marrying Travis Kelce. The "Opalite" crooner was photographed exiting Annabel's, which is a private members-only club. She had modelled a purple floral mini dress with her signature wispy bangs and red lipstick. The singer wore heels and subtly flaunted her wedding ring (via Page Six).
Interestingly, this is the first time Swift has stepped out by herself post-wedding. Not only that, but this is also her first outing since Kelce gushed over the couple's nuptials during a recent press interaction.
Kelce revealed to the reporters: "It was a fun offseason, man. Wedding was the best night of my life, and I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us."
Furthermore, the Chiefs tight end added: "It was a crazy night. It was full of a lot of celebration." The "Lover" crooner has not publicly commented on her wedding to Kelce, nor has she shared any photos from the ceremony.

Christopher Lambert canceled his planned return to Steel City Con after collapsing while meeting fans at the Pennsylvania convention one day earlier.
The 69-year-old Highlander star became ill while signing autographs at the Monroeville Convention Center outside Pittsburgh on August 8. A witness told TMZ that Lambert suddenly collapsed before he was transported from the convention by ambulance.
His representative later said Lambert was "perfectly OK" and resting at his hotel, attributing the episode to low blood sugar after the actor had slept poorly and eaten very little. Steel City Con separately said he had become overheated and dehydrated.
Organizers initially announced that Lambert would return on August 9 for photo opportunities and a panel. That plan changed shortly before his scheduled arrival, when the convention said he was still not feeling well and needed additional rest.
Lambert was signing autographs during the second day of Steel City Con when he became ill. According to TMZ, a witness said the actor suddenly collapsed and was then taken from the convention hall by ambulance.

Scarlett Johansson wasn't a fan of how celebrities were once expected to dress according to a rigid Hollywood standard.
In a new interview, the actress described those expectations as "unachievable" and said she's glad stars today have the freedom to wear whatever makes them feel confident.

Since making her first major red carpet appearance at the 2004 Oscars, Johansson has consistently turned heads with her glamorous fashion choices.
Reflecting on those early years in a video shared by Good Housekeeping, the actress revealed that her style was heavily influenced by Hollywood's rigid expectations for red carpet dressing. She said those fashion standards were ultimately unattainable for many people.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's statement against Elon Musk has sparked political career rumors. According to an expert, the ***** ss of Sussex could allegedly be trying to move into politics with this move. Previously, the Sussexes released a lengthy statement through their charitable organization, Archewell Philanthropies. In it, they criticized the trillionaire's company X for failing to protect women and kids from online "predators."
Meghan Markle sparked rumors about opting for a political career after the Elon Musk statement. During a News24 interview, TalkTV host Samara Gill questioned if the ***** ss is "trying to sort of launch a political career." The discussion started when reporter Danica De Giorgio asked her opinion on the Sussexes intervening in the Minnesota lawsuit drama. They questioned why Markle would grab attention through a controversial statement when she often reportedly requested "privacy."
Gill claimed that Markle and Harry "constantly invade their own privacy." Furthermore, she wondered why the Sussexes got "so political" with their statement berating Musk's move against the Minnesota lawsuit. "Is Meghan trying to sort of launch a political career potentially? Is this her going for governor of California?"
On the other hand, Gill also thought that Markle and Harry might just have wanted to have "an opinion about absolutely everything." She and Giorgio then advised the non-working royals not to intervene in the political matter.
For those unversed, Harry and Markle released a statement, more like an article, on their official Archewell Philanthropies website. The ***** le read, "Can we all agree technology should not enable predators to target children?" Meanwhile, the content was about Minnesota passing a "ban on AI 'nudification' apps." They also mentioned a "trillionaire leader of the tech company responsible for X's Grok" trying to stop the law. Although they didn't name Musk directly, the line made it evident.

Rosie O'Donnell is reflecting on her longstanding feud with President Donald Trump more than a year and a half after she left the U.S. for Ireland.
In a new interview with People on Wednesday, the TV personality said that Trump hasn't "shut up about her for 20 years."

"It used to be when our president would say things about me, it would be like, whoa," she said. "First of all, if you had written this as a movie, a stand-up comic makes fun of a reality show host who is a bloviating idiot and he ends up being the president, and then he doesn't shut up about her for 20 years, it would be unbelievable — and the fact that it's my life is very trippy."
Trump has gone on offensive tirades about O'Donnell since 2006, including during the first Republican primary debate in 2015, where he called her a "fat pig" and a "slob" on national television. She had slammed Trump on a 2006 episode of "The View" over his decision to let Tara Conner keep her Miss USA ***** le following scandals involving drug use and underage drinking.
