Here We Are

 

Here We Are, Lyttelton Theatre, 2025.

Cast: Tracie Bennett, Jack Butterworth, Chumisa Dornford-May, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Richard Fleeshman, Harry Hadden-Paton, Cameron Johnson, Rory Kinnear, Jane Krakowski, Denis O'Hare, Martha Plimpton, Paula Szot, Edward Baker-Duly, Alastair Brookshaw, Amira Matthews, Steven Serin.

Book: David Ives
Music & lyrics: Stephen Sondheim
Director: Joe Mantello

Sondheim's last, and slightly unfinished work, gets the full National Theatre experience with an amazing set and unbelievably good cast. They do their best but they can't make up for the fact that it doesn't make sense and is a bit silly. Now I think it's time to revisit the classics and put the oddities back in a cupboard.
