UK pop sensation Steps present world premiere of new musical HERE & NOW

UK pop band Steps have announced the world premiere of Here & Now, a brand-new musical using their iconic music, which will open at The Alexandra in Birmingham from 9-24 November.

With an original book by Shaun Kitchener, Here & Now will be directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, with choreography by Olivier Award winning Matt Cole.

Casting is to be announced.

Welcome to seaside superstore Better Best Bargains, where it's Friday night, the vibe is right, and everyone's dancing in the aisles. But when Caz discovers the shelves are stocked with lies and betrayal, the summer of love she and her friends dreamed of suddenly feels like a tragedy. Have they all lost their chance of a 'happy ever after'? Or does love have other plans in store…

Steps said: “We’ve been lucky to do many things together as a band, but the question we get asked again and again is ‘where is the Steps musical?’ Well...it’s finally here and we couldn’t be more excited. We’ve searched for the perfect story for our music and we’ve found it in the aisle of a seaside superstore, where four friends set out on their own Summer of Love. It’s a story of friendship, romance and community; packed with our biggest hits and sure to have everybody laughing, crying and dancing in the aisles. We can’t wait to open the doors later this year, and see you there!”

The production will feature set design by Tom Rogers, costumes by Gabriella Slade, sound by Adam Fisher, and casting by Will Burton for Grindrod Burton Casting.
