Here & Now The Steps Musical – First look and audience reactions
Here & Now is a brand new theatre production written by Shaun Kitchener, directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, and produced by the five members of Steps, along with theatre company ROYO, and music mogul Pete Waterman.
First announced in early 2024, the show will weave together the chart topping bands music, using some of their biggest hits as a foundation for the storyline which follows the trials and tribulations of the workers and patrons of a seaside superstore named ‘Better Best Bargains’.
In a joint statement released to the press following the announcement of the musical, 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 this year, and see you there!”
Here & Now is playing at Birmingham’s Alexandra Theatre to 30 November 2024.
