Here We Are—the last musical penned by the late Stephen Sondheim, with playwright David Ives—is scheduled to begin previews September 28 Off-Broadway in The Shed's Griffin Theater.
Prior to the commencement of performances, producers have announced two ways for audiences to purchase discounted tickets. For each performance, a limited number of $25 tickets will be available via a weekly lottery. There will also be a limited number of $40 same-day rush tickets.
The lottery will open for entries on the TodayTix app each Sunday at 12:01 AM for the coming week's performances and will close at midnight the day before each performance. Winners will be notified by push notification and email between 1–4 PM on the day before their selected show, and will have 30 minutes to claim their tickets in the app. Entrants may request up to two tickets.
Same-day rush tickets will be available on the TodayTix app at 9 AM each day on a first-come, first-served basis. Users can download the app and "unlock" rush tickets by sharing the program on social media ahead of the desired performance day.
Directed by two-time Tony winner Joe Mantello, the limited 15-week engagement will officially open October 22. The all-star cast will feature Francois Battiste, Tracie Bennett, Bobby Cannavale, Micaela Diamond, Amber Gray, Jin Ha, Rachel Bay Jones, Denis O’Hare, Steven Pasquale, David Hyde Pierce, and Jeremy Shamos. Understudies include Adante Carter, Lindsay Nicole Chambers, Bradley Dean, Mehry Eslaminia, Adam Harrington, and Bligh Voth.
Inspired by two Luis Buñuel films, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and The Exterminating Angel, Here We Are has music and lyrics by Sondheim and a book by Ives.
