⭐ HERE WE ARE – FINAL STEPHEN SONDHEIM MUSICAL – UK PREMIERE ANNOUNCED FOR NATIONAL THEATRE – APRIL 2025 ⭐
The final Stephen Sondheim musical HERE WE ARE has been announced for the National Theatre.
After receiving its world premiere in New York in 2023, Here We Are, the final musical by the legendary Stephen Sondheim (Follies) with a book by Tony Award-nominee David Ives (All in the Timing/Venus in Fur) will have its UK premiere in a new production in the Lyttelton theatre from April 2025.
Inspired by two of Luis Buñuel’s iconic films, this unmissable musical comedy had a sold-out New York run and is directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Joe Mantello (WICKED /Assassins).
Leo and Marianne Brink have found the ideal spot to take their friends. With great reviews, impeccable service and an extensive menu it seems like nothing could go wrong. But after a series of strange events interrupt their meal, they soon realise they’ve bitten off more than they can chew.
The cast will include Tracie Bennett (Follies) and Denis O’Hare (Tartuffe), who reprise their roles from the original production in New York, and Rory Kinnear (No Time to Die) who will join this new production in London. Further casting to be announced.
Director Joe Mantello will stage a new production with set and costume designer David Zinn, choreographer Sam Pinkleton, orchestrations Jonathan Tunick, additional arrangements Alexander Gemignani, conductor Nigel Lilley, lighting designer Natasha Katz, sound designer Tom Gibbons and casting director Bryony Jarvis-Taylor.
HERE WE ARE will play the National Theatre, running from 23rd April – 28th June 2025.
Brilliant! ! !
