Pop royalty, Steps, will visit Birmingham next month as fans queue for tickets to 'Here & Now', a brand new musical featuring the music of the band which will open in Birmingham this November.

On Friday 9 February, The Alexandra’s Box Office will open especially from 12pm for fans far and wide to come and buy tickets on the door and have their chance to meet the band Steps. Fans are encouraged to queue early to not miss out!

Featuring the band's most beloved hits, Here & Now is produced by the band and production company, ROYO alongside Pete Waterman, and will be directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, with choreography by Olivier Award winning Matt Cole.

The story is based around seaside superstore, Better Best Bargains, where it's Friday night, the vibe is right, and everyone's dancing in the aisles. But when Caz discovers the shelves are stocked with lies and betrayal, the summer of love she and her friends dreamed of suddenly feels like a tragedy. Pun's intended! Steps said:

“We’ve been lucky to do many things together as a band, but the question we get asked again and again is ‘where is the Steps musical?’ Well...it’s finally here and we couldn’t be more excited.

"We’ve searched for the perfect story for our music and we’ve found it in the aisle of a seaside superstore, where four friends set out on their own Summer of Love.

"It’s a story of friendship, romance and community; packed with our biggest hits and sure to have everybody laughing, crying and dancing in the aisles. We can’t wait to open the doors later this year, and see you there!”

Steps are the UK’s most successful mixed sex pop group of all time, with 14 top five singles, 4 number one albums, 22 million record sales, 500 million streams and 11 sold-out national arena tours under their belts.

The band’s hits include Tragedy, Stomp, One For Sorrow and 5,6,7,8 - all of which will feature in the musical alongside many more.
