Rebecca Lock is about to bring a little bit of pop magic to Manchester

If you hear the faint sound of platform heels stomping in time to a pop beat, don’t panic – it just means Here and Now: The Steps Musical is arriving in Manchester and none other than Rebecca Lock is leading the charge.

Rebecca takes on the role of CAZ in this glitter-drenched celebration of friendship, fun and of course, a soundtrack guaranteed to get you in high spirits!

Rebecca popped in for a chat with Smithy on MIX56 and honestly – it was less serious theatre interview and more like two mates catching up over a cuppa.  You can listen again right here.

Rebecca shared her excitement about diving into a show packed with heart, laughter, and the kind of tunes that will transport you straight back to questionable fashion choices and Friday nights on the dancefloor.

For Rebecca, the joy lies not only in belting out crowd-pleasers but also in telling CAZ’s story – a character whose ups, downs, and dodgy dance moves we can all probably relate to.

Yes, that means you may catch Rebecca perfecting her side-steps, claps, and spins with more enthusiasm than most of us muster at weddings.

Get ready for Here and Now: this show promises shimmering nostalgia with a very cheeky wink.

And with Rebecca Lock at the helm, it’s safe to say audiences will leave the theatre smiling, singing, and maybe even attempting a dance routine in the car park!

  • Here and Now plays at the Manchester Opera House from 2nd to 13th September 2025
  • Tickets available from ATG Tickets

Please keep tuned to MIX56 for a review of the show!
