"Review: 'Here We Are' - Sondheim's Final Musical Falls Short of Success"

"Here We Are," the final musical by the late Stephen Sondheim, has assembled a dream cast and offers a delightful first act inspired by Luis Buñuel's surrealist films. However, the show, reportedly unfinished at the time of Sondheim's death, falls short in the second act with fragmented songs and a tedious denouement. Despite the talented cast and witty storytelling, "Here We Are" fails to fully satisfy as a complete musical, leaving audiences longing for more music and less philosophizing.
