Sondheim's final musical to play at the National Theatre

The play, directed by American Horror Story actor, Joe Mantello, is accompanied by a book by Tony Award nominee David Ives. It had its off-Broadway premiere in New York in October 2023 and is now set for its UK debut next April.

Here We Are follows a group of people who are unable to leave a dinner party, while other guests constantly arrive for dinner but are unable to eat. The cast includes Tracie Bennett, Rory Kinnear, and Denis O’Hare. The show – based on Luis Bunuel films The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and The Exterminating Angel – was initially workshopped in 2016 with plans for a production at the Public Theater, which did not happen.
