For the last time ever, it's a brand new musical from Stephen Sondheim. Here We Are has just opened at the National Theatre, the show Sondheim was working on for almost a decade, and which he finished with writer David Ives and director Joe Mantello just before he died in 2021. Nick, Nick and Nancy give their verdict on the absurdist plight of rich Americans trying to get brunch. Plus, Nick Clark has a chat with Sondheim's biographer David Benedict about who Sondheim was, and why he matters.
The brilliant Beverley Knight natters to Nick Curtis about playing the godmother of rock and roll Sister Rosetta Tharpe in new play Marie and Rosetta.
And the gang review Ava Pickett's debut play 1536 at the Almeida Theatre in which three ordinary Tudor women find out about the death of Anne Boleyn.
Plus we have five questions for Stella Powell-Jones, artistic director of Jermyn Street Theatre.
