Here We Are

'The last Sondheim, cool and impossibly chic’

* New York Times *

'The perfect Sondheim epitaph... Sondheim's poignant last gesture [is to] ask whether the sound of no-music can contribute to the form, too... it is like being reunited with an old friend, with lashings of the old wit and wordplay we'd expect... demands to be seen'

* Telegraph *

'Works brilliantly – deft, funny and perceptive... Sondheim's lyrics are delightfully flip and spiky... startlingly fresh... pretty bloody spectacular'

* Time Out *

'Exquisitely unpredictable... Sondheim's songs, which nod to his back catalogue while always staying spry, still delight'

* Sunday Times *

'Utterly absorbing... quite simply extraordinary... very, very funny... contains some of Sondheim's wittiest lyrics since A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. David Ives's book is ultra-sharp... An astonishingly deft piece of musical theatre'

* The Times *

'Bonkers and sometimes brilliant... uniquely Sondheim: witty, wry and suddenly wise'

* Financial Times *

'A parting gift from Sondheim... full of adventurous imagination, with some signature Sondheim sparks'

* Guardian *

'Sondheim's sensational swan song... Wacky and wonderful... quintessential Sondheim... a treat'

* The Arts Desk *

'An acerbic, absurdist take on late-stage capitalism... As a last hurrah, Stephen Sondheim's Here We Are is quite something... full of love and affection for a great composer, who even after death, still seems to have his finger on the pulse of where and who we are'

* WhatsOnStage *

'Surrealism at its finest, unashamedly finding the absurdity of the situation with Sondheim's familiar charm and wit... thoroughly enjoyable... a timely reminder of his unmatched talents in the world of theatre'

* All That Dazzles *

'A very enjoyable piece of modern theatre... Musically, it's instantly recognisable as Sondheim... You can hear all of Sondheim here. It's loaded with motifs and easter eggs that the nerdiest of Sondheimites will be falling over themselves to catch... Sondheim has turned out a remarkable score that bears (or maybe begs) plenty of repeat plays'
