Welcome to the latest episode of the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

This week, Sarah Crompton and Alex Wood dive headfirst into Stephen Sondheim and David Ives’ Here We Are, wading through the history and themes of the show as it makes its European premiere at the National Theatre. After that, they swim through a wellspring of topics including the Young Vic’s exciting new season (with four of Sarah’s favourite directors involved) and Cynthia Erivo’s fang-tastic West End return in Dracula.

Crompton and Wood present a weekly series on all things theatrical. News, views, frank exchanges and lists offer an unmissable guide to what’s happening on stage (and in film and on television) now, in the past and in future.
