Once upon a time, in a bustling town, a young man named Henry became entangled in the web of an astonishing real story. Little did he realise that a single moment would shatter his existence, dividing his universe into two halves—one with a history he couldn't remember and the other with a future he couldn't even imagine. With uncertainty hanging in the air, Henry went on a voyage of self-discovery, anxious for a method to regain control of his fate and prevent his cherished family from splintering.
The Little Big Things is a growing British musical that is set to explode onto the stage in a world premiere production, inspired by the enthralling pages of Henry Fraser's best-selling autobiography in the Sunday Times. Prepare for a spectacular explosion of sights and sounds, propelled by electrifying pop music that will enthral your senses and have you dancing in your seats.
This multicoloured spectacle is an inspiring hymn to the transformative power of bravery. It's a lively reminder that in the big fabric of life, it's the apparently unimportant moments—the tiny things—that have the most meaning. The Little Big Things unravels the threads of inspiration within the swells of music and the swirl of colours, encouraging us all to embrace the minor delights that weave themselves into the fabric of our lives.
Enchanting melodies composed by musical genius Nick Butcher, paired with funny and heartbreaking lyrics written by Nick Butcher and Tom Ling, serve as the framework for this incredible story. And the visionary Joe White, who weaves the characters and their adventures together into a seamless tapestry, is at the helm of this huge production, navigating the ship with delicacy.
But there's more, dear audience! The Little Big Things' theatrical charm goes beyond the stage, with a series of aided performances catering to every soul in the theatre. Witness the British Sign Language interpretation on a special evening when the performers' lively gestures will speak volumes. An exquisite matinée greets individuals who rely on audio description, bringing the visual feast to life through vivid narrative. And don't worry: with the help of captions, the exciting drama will develop before your eyes, guaranteeing that every word and emotion resonates profoundly inside your hearts.
Accept the magic, mark your calendars, and be ready to be taken on a delightful voyage. Under the brilliant direction of the legendary Luke Sheppard, The Tiny Big Things will transport you to a realm where ordinary meets exceptional, dreams take flight, and the tiny things sparkle with the brilliance of a thousand stars. It's time to come together and celebrate the strength of resilience, because in the face of hardship, the simple things actually count the most.
