About the show

It’s a perfect day for brunch. Leo and Marianne Brink have found the ideal spot to take their friends. With great reviews, impeccable service and an extensive menu it seems like nothing could go wrong. But after a series of strange events interrupt their meal, they soon realise they’ve bitten off more than they can chew. Stephen Sondheim’s (Into the Woods, Follies) ‘cool, and impossibly chic’ (New York Times Critic’s Pick) final work, Here We Are, is directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Joe Mantello (WICKED, Assassins) with book by Tony Award-nominee David Ives (All in the Timing, Venus in Fur).
