Starring an exceptional cast including Tracie Bennett, Denis O’Hare, Jane Krakowski and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, this must-see production brings Sondheim’s legendary talent back to the stage.

Here We Are is the last masterpiece from one of the greatest composers in musical theatre history, Stephen Sondheim (Into the Woods, Sweeney Todd, Follies).

The star-studded cast features Tracie Bennett (Follies, End of the Rainbow) and Denis O’Hare (American Horror Story, True Blood), reprising their roles from the New York production. Joining them are Jane Krakowski* (30 Rock), Martha Plimpton (Sweat), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), Rory Kinnear (No Time to Die), Richard Fleeshman (Company), Harry Hadden-Paton (Downton Abbey), Cameron Johnson (Guys & Dolls), and Paulo Szot (South Pacific).

Don’t miss the UK premiere of Here We Are at the National Theatre’s Lyttelton Theatre, running from 25 April 2025 to 28 June 2025.
