Following its debut in Birmingham last year, Here & Now – the new musical based on Steps’ back catalogue – has embarked on a UK tour, opening last week at the Manchester Opera House.

It’s now returned – at the Southwark Playhouse Elephant – in an even bigger theatrical production. The set is more robust, the puppets look more impressive, the band sounds great – although it retains a Fringe-style lo-fi charm. For those unfamiliar, it’s a musical parody of The Little Mermaid, telling the story…
