Here We Are is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by David Ives. It is based on two films by Luis Buñuel: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and The Exterminating Angel.
I'd guess it's more likely that "Merrily We Roll Along," winning new acclaim on Broadway in a production starring Daniel Radcliffe and Jonathan Groff, will show up on J! before "Here We Are" does. I saw HWA last week, it doesn't seem like a finished work. And unfortunately he won't be able to tinker with it, as he did for many of his shows. An outside chance The Shed comes up, or the shopping-mall-for-the-one-percent where it's located, Hudson Yards.

The Macallan [Adami] 1926 single malt is one of the world's most sought-after bottles of Scotch whisky.
Such a routine whisky description, Charissa Thompson could've said that.The auction house's head of whisky said he had been allowed to taste "a tiny drop" of it beforehand.
"It's very rich, it's got a lot of dried fruit as you would expect, a lot of spice, a lot of wood," Jonny Fowle told the AFP news agency.
That link hasn't updated with Cameron's new title, so here it is!mfc248 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:36 pm Normally a British cabinet reshuffle wouldn't merit mention here, but I think this one does on account of who's involved: Former Prime Minister David Cameron was appointed UK Foreign Secretary by current PM Rishi Sunak. Cameron returns to politics after seven (not entirely incident free) years away, following the Leave win in the 2016 Brexit referendum.
Cameron was made a life peer to facilitate the appointment; he's the first former Prime Minister to receive a peerage since Margaret Thatcher in 1992.
