A new musical based on the iconic pop hits of STEPS.
Happiness is only a heartbeat away with HERE & NOW, the hilarious and heart-warming new musical based on the songs of the multi-million-selling pop phenomenon, Steps.
Steps are the most successful UK mixed sex pop group of all time, with 14 top five singles, 4 number one albums, 22 million record sales, 500 million streams & 11 sold-out national arena tours under their belts.
Directed by the award-winning Rachel Kavanaugh and written by Shaun Kitchener HERE & NOW is produced with STEPS and Pete Waterman and features many of their iconic hits, including 5, 6, 7, 8, Stomp, Better Best Forgotten, and Last Thing On My Mind.
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’?
HERE & NOW makes its world premiere in November 2024 in Birmingham.
“OUR MUSICAL IS FINALLY HERE AND WE COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED. IT’S A STORY OF FRIENDSHIP, ROMANCE AND COMMUNITY. WE CAN’T WAIT TO OPEN THE DOORS AND SEE YOU THERE!”
