Opening night of Here & Now musical in Glasgow cancelled minutes before show due to start

The opening night of a popular musical in Glasgow was cancelled minutes before it was to start due to “technical difficulties”.

Here & Now, a musical based on the songs of the pop group Steps, was due to have its first performance at the King’s Theatre on Tuesday night.

The show, which is set to run for a further four nights at the theatre, was expected to start at 7.30pm, but customers were left waiting outside until show time.

Disappointed ticket-holders were then told by staff that the show was cancelled due to “technical difficulties”.
