OHMYGOD HEY! It’s MickeyJoTheatre!
HERE WE ARE, the final ever musical to feature a score from the legendary composer lyricist Stephen Sondheim, is currently receiving its European premiere with a run at the National Theatre in London.
The musical, which features a book by the playwright David Ives, was originally seen Off-Broadway at The Shed in 2023, and is based on two films by Luis Buñuel, The Exterminating Angel (1962) and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972).
The London production features a star-studded cast including Jane Krakowski, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Rory Kinnear, Martha Plimpton, Harry Hadden-Paton, Paulo Szot, Richard Fleeshman, Chumisa Dornford-May, Tracie Bennett, Cameron Johnson, and Denis O’Hare.
