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.
Don’t miss this sparkling celebration of love and friendship when it embarks on a UK & Ireland tour after its record-breaking world premiere!

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’? With Caz, Vel, Neeta and Robbie around, who knows what love has in store…

Directed by the award-winning Rachel Kavanaugh (Half a Sixpence, The Great British Bake Off Musical) and written by Shaun Kitchener (Hollyoaks), Here & Now features many of Steps’ iconic hits, including 5, 6, 7, 8, Better Best Forgotten, and Last Thing On My Mind.

This brand new musical is produced by Steps themselves, ROYO and pop legend Pete Waterman.

Returning from the critically acclaimed premiere in Birmingham are Rebecca Lock (Elf: The Musical, MAMMA MIA!), Blake Patrick Anderson (Be More Chill) and River Medway (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK). They are joined by Jacqui Dubois (Ghost, People Places & Things) and Rosie Singha (& Juliet) who will stomp across the UK & Ireland this year, with further casting to be announced!
