ℹ️ ABOUT
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'?
Move your feet and feel the beat to the iconic pop anthems of a generation in a night of “musical heaven” (The Star on Sunday). Produced by Steps themselves, ROYO, and pop legend Pete Waterman, Here & Now features hits including One for Sorrow, Better The Devil You Know, Deeper Shade of Blue, 5, 6, 7, 8 and Last Thing On My Mind.
Directed by the award-winning Rachel Kavanaugh (The Great British Bake Off Musical) and written by Shaun Kitchener (Hollyoaks), the show stars Blake Patrick Anderson (Be More Chill), River Medway (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK), Jacqui Dubois (Ghost) and Rosie Singha (& Juliet).
Hailed as the “biggest jukebox hit since MAMMA MIA!” (The Sun), don’t miss this feel-good celebration of love and friendship!

But they can’t do it alone… it’s going to take all the magic in the land and the help of some very special boys and girls to keep the dragon under control!
