Due to phenomenal demand, producers of the brand new musical HERE & NOW, presented by UK pop sensation Steps, have announced that the show will play an additional week at The Alexandra, Birmingham, now running from 9 – 30 November.

Featuring Steps’ most beloved hit songs, HERE & NOW has an original book by Shaun Kitchener and is produced by the band and ROYO with Pete Waterman. It is directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, with choreography by Olivier Award winning Matt Cole and Matt Spencer-Smith as musical supervisor, orchestrations and arrangements.

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 were thrilled and grateful for the response we received when we announced the show, people were queuing up outside the theatre from 3am to purchase tickets! The past few weeks we have been workshopping the script and songs; it is so exciting to see it lift off the page. We can’t wait to share this with you!”

Tickets for the additional week will go on sale at 12noon on Monday (29 April) here.
