Steven Pasquale was born in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on November 18, 1976. He studied as a theatre major at Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University&nbsp;but left after one semester in order to move to New York.

Pasquale's first notable stage roles came in the late 1990s, appearing in the national tours of&nbsp;West Side Story&nbsp;and&nbsp;Miss Saigon. From 2000 to 2005, he scored a number of Off-Broadway roles in productions such as Manhattan Theatre Club's&nbsp;The Wild Party, Lincoln Center Theater's&nbsp;Spinning Into Butter&nbsp;and&nbsp;A Man of No Importance, MCC Theater's&nbsp;Fat Pig, Second Stage Theater's&nbsp;A Soldier's Play,&nbsp;The Spitfire Grill&nbsp;at The Duke on 42nd Street, and&nbsp;Beautiful Child&nbsp;at <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/vineyard-theatre">Vineyard Theatre</a>.

His Broadway debut finally came in March 2009, when he played the role of Kent in Neil LaBute's&nbsp;Reasons to be Pretty&nbsp;at the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/lyceum-theatre">Lyceum Theatre</a>. After his <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/playwrights-horizons">Playwrights Horizons</a> debut in Far From Heaven from May to July 2013, he would return to Broadway in January 2014. He&nbsp;reprised&nbsp;his performance as Robert in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/the-bridges-of-madison-county">The Bridges of Madison County</a> —&nbsp;the role he previously originated at the Williamstown Theatre Festival —&nbsp;and earned a Drama Desk Award nomination.

In 2015, he starred in&nbsp;Carousel&nbsp;at the Lyric Opera in&nbsp;Chicago, and&nbsp;the following year, he took on the leading role of Jamie Lockhart in the Roundabout Theatre Company's Off-Broadway revival of&nbsp;The Robber Bridegroom, ultimately winning his first Lucille Lortel Award for his performance.

Early on in his career, Pasquale created&nbsp;the iconic role of Fabrizio in the original Seattle company&nbsp;of&nbsp;The Light in the Piazza;&nbsp;however, his commitments to his TV role as Sean Garrity in Rescue Me&nbsp;prevented him from transferring with the production to Broadway.

While&nbsp;he is perhaps best known outside of the theatre industry for his TV role as&nbsp;Sean Garrity on FX's Rescue Me, appearing in 93 episodes from 2004 to 2011, he has also appeared in many other high-profile TV series, including Six Feet Under&nbsp;(2001), Do No Harm&nbsp;(2013), The Good Wife&nbsp;(2014-15), Bloodline&nbsp;(2015-16),&nbsp;American Crime Story&nbsp;(2016), Doubt&nbsp;(2017), and, most recently, Divorce&nbsp;(2018). On film, he also notably portrayed Dallas in 2007's Alien vs. Predator: Requiem.

Pasquale returned to Broadway in October 2017 to take on the lead role of Robert Merkin in Ayad Akhtar's&nbsp;Junk&nbsp;at Lincoln Center Theater and played his final performance on January 7, 2018. He was then seen starring&nbsp;as&nbsp;Scott Connor in the Broadway premiere of&nbsp;American Son&nbsp;at the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/booth-theatre">Booth Theatre</a>&nbsp;from October 6, 2018 through&nbsp;January 27, 2019.

Considering that it’s the final musical by the renowned composer-lyricist who [died in 2021](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/stephen-sondheim-remembrance), Stephen Sondheim’s [*Here We Are*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/28147-here-we-are-tickets) was guaranteed to jolt. Although the show emerges as modestly engaging, it adds a zap of electricity to the theatre season, thanks to inspired work by a [dream cast](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/meet-the-all-star-cast-of-here-we-are-off-broadway) and ace designers who serve up a slim slice of surrealism under Joe Mantello's ([*Wicked*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/1-wicked-musical-tickets)) direction.

In development for a decade and written with David Ives (*Venus in Fur*), the two-hour two-act is inspired by two movies by Spanish Mexican filmmaker Luis Buñuel: *The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie* and *The Exterminating Angel*. The movies present spiky send-ups of the rich and privileged whose dining plans go awry.

Rachel Bay Jones and [Bobby Cannavale](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/bobby-cannavale) play Marianne and Leo Brink, a posh, pampered pair. Claudia and Paul Zimmer (Amber Gray and Jeremy Shamos) arrive at Brinks’ home mistakenly thinking they have a brunch date there. 

Accompanied by Marianne’s street-smart sister, Fritz (Micaela Diamond), and Raffael ([Steven Pasquale](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/steven-pasquale)), an oversexed ambassador, they head out and look for a place to eat. Subplots about infidelity, a sexy soldier (Jin Ha), an aimless bishop ([David Hyde Pierce](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/david-hyde-pierce)), a cocaine cartel, and a revolution bubble up. Lending ace support are Francois Battiste as a colonel and the multitasking Denis O’Hare and Tracie Bennett. 

Sondheim and Ives follow the bones of the movies and make detours in their gentle adaptation. Act 1 takes a traditional musical approach to the story. Act 2, in which everybody ends up in a room they can’t leave, is largely absent of music, save for a song at the start and a later reprise or two. Even a piano on stage goes silent.

David Zinn’s minimal first-act set is all about clean, polished white surfaces and colorful set pieces that represent various restaurants, while Act 2 conjures an ornate room. It’s all good enough to eat. Zinn’s costumes – from a silky peignoir to combat boots – are character-defining. Natasha Katz bathes it all in dramatic lighting.

In both halves of the theatrical hybrid, Ives’s script packs the verbal dexterity that’s become his hallmark. “We do expect a little latte later, but we haven’t got a lotta latte now,” says a waiter. 

Sondheim, meanwhile, doesn’t offer up his signature tongue-twisting lyrics, but in just a note or two, melodies announce themselves as hailing from the same [creator](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/a-history-of-stephen-sondheim-musicals-on-broadway-and-beyond) of [*Sweeney Todd*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/26216-sweeney-todd-on-broadway-tickets) and *Into the Woods*. Incidental songs pop up about a perfect day, the end of the world, and a rudderless priest. The score is pretty and moody — no more, no less.

So what does it all mean? *Here We Are* doubles down on a message. “Life’s a tit! Suck it up!” says Raffael early on. Later, the Bishop puts it in other words: “Be here. Until we’re not.” Groundbreaking? No. But it’s food for thought.

[*Here We Are* is at The Shed through January 21. Get *Here We Are* tickets on New York Theatre Guide.](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/28147-here-we-are-tickets)
