Further casting has been revealed ahead of the UK premiere of Here We Are, which will open at the Lyttelton at the National Theatre on 23rd April 2025.
Here We Are is the final musical by Stephen Sondheim that was inspired by two of Luis Buñuel’s films – The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and The Exterminating Angel and follows a group of dinner party guests as they realise they’ve bitten off a little more than they can chew.
Joining the production will be Chumisa Dornford-May, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Richard Fleeshman, Harry Hadden-Paton, Cameron Johnson, Jane Krakowski, Martha Plimpton, and Paulo Szot.
They will join the previously announced Tracie Bennett and Denis O’Hare, who will reprise their roles from the New York premiere in 2023, and Rory Kinnear.
The musical features a book by Tony Award nominee David Ives and is directed by Tony Award winner Joe Mantello. The wider creative team includes choreography by Sam Pinkleton, set and costume design by David Zinn, lighting design by Natasha Katz, orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick, additional arrangements by Alexander Gemignani, and sound design by Tom Gibbons.
Further casting will be announced in due course.
