The cast of the musical "Here We Are" describes the show as crazy, compelling, and shocking during its opening night. The production, which is Stephen Sondheim's final musical, has been in development for a decade and is based on films by Luis Buñuel. The cast includes Steven Pasquale, Denis O'Hare, and Micaela Diamond, among others. The turquoise carpet at the event was a reference to the show, and the cast expressed relief and pride at completing the project.

"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.
