Based around the hits of the beloved pop group, Here & Now is currently enjoying its world premiere in Birmingham, where it opened to a flurry of five-star reviews on Tuesday, November 19th. See just what the critics said below:

"As A Steps fan, this show really has got a hold of my heart, being everything I could have wanted from a musical of their songs...this feel good, fun and fabulous show is full of so much joy, I found it impossible to not smile all the way through. This steptacular musical may well have broken my star system as I truly feel it deserves more than five stars - it deserves 5, 6, 7, 8 of them."
All That Dazzles

"Here & Now was laugh-out-loud, glorious fun. I couldn't stop smiling the entire performance...If you ever need a mood boost, the Steps Musical is your answer. The cast were absolutely fabulous, and so talented - the songs were full of feeling, and the costumes were magical."
Birmingham Mail

"In short, this is a joyous celebration of both music and life from start to finish. Of all the feel-good experiences out there, this will be the most rompin' stompin' fun you'll have all year. Even if you are somehow not a huge Steps fan, you'll be hard pressed to not crack a smile or even a cheeky dance move this will be one fiesta you'll always remember."

What Is The Story?

The musical takes place in Better Best Bargains, a beachside superstore where Friday nights sizzle with excitement and the aisles are alive with dancing. However, when Caz uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal lurking among the shelves, the idyllic summer of love envisioned by her and her friends soon turns into a heart-wrenching saga. Are their dreams of a 'happily ever after' shattered beyond repair? Or does love have other plans in store...?
