The Little Big Things: The Inspirational Memoir of the Year

Product Information

When I was 17, I had an accident and it changed my life,” says Henry as he circles the stage in his wheelchair. The problem is that he's so creepy, he's so weird, he's so desirous of attention, that it makes the character overwhelmingly obvious. Every string to this hi-tech building’s bow is put to use, from its interactive stage to the spine-tingling sound system, not to mention its accessibility, allowing disabled performers to take centre stage.

Legroom is limited, but much better than row A (which are cramped), but still next to no space for coats, bags etc. The Little Big Things in London stars Ed Larkin as Adult Henry Fraser and Jonny Amies as Boy Henry Fraser, with Linzi Hateley ( Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Mamma Mia!

From Henry Fraser’s memoir, Joe White has fashioned a modern book with contemporary if mildly repetitive music by Nick Butcher and serviceable lyrics from both himself and Tom Ling. The two men work together to untangle the details and target their primary suspect, Albert Sparma (Jared Leto), a bow-legged, greasy-haired creep who maybe confessed eight years ago. From that moment he had a new life to live as a tetraplegic and new circumstances to accept and adapt to.

Linzi Hateley as Fran, mother of the brood, is in a class of her own, turning a mediocre reminiscence on motherhood into a stand-out solo show-stopping moment as the horror of Henry’s accident sinks in. Henry surpassed expectations through a remarkable blend of courage and resilience, achieving a swift discharge from the hospital a full year ahead of projections. Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody) is too detached to convincingly play his young family man coming unglued thanks to the case.Its cases and characters lack the depth to justify the time dwelt, and the thrills are decidedly dimmer, denying a serial killer audience a compelling case, compelling characters, and a unique killer. In 1990, Joe "Deke" Deacon (Denzel Washington) is a LASD deputy and living out his final days on the force in the relative anonymity of the unincorporated parts of Los Angeles. This new British musical features a theatrical pop sound by Nick Butcher, with lyrics by Tom Ling and a book by Joe White. Have him converse with them all the time, have them reappear and whisper in his ear, have the new crime scenes trigger the appearances of victims from the old crime scenes, take this unique angle and take ownership of it, really separate from the glut of other serial killer thrillers. You know there are seven deadly sins and each new victim is another step closer to achieving that mad goal.

Painting with light, animation and illumination melding in constantly dazzling and important ways to augment the story must be award-winning at some point.

As they track the culprit, Baxter is unaware that the investigation is dredging up echoes of Deke's past, uncovering disturbing secrets that could threaten more than his case. This true-story about Henry Fraser, a man who was paralysed from the shoulders down after an accident, will premier at Soho Place from 9 September until 25 November. The show boasts an explosive theatrical pop soundtrack, with music by Nick Butcher ( Loved Before), lyrics by Nick Butcher and Tom Ling ( Animal Farm), and a book by Joe White ( Blackout Songs). Speaking about the show, Fraser told BBC News, “There have been many things that have happened since my accident that I never thought about in life, never planned and really surprised me, in a great way.

About The Little Big Things MusicalHenry Fraser was 17 years old when an accident on holiday left him paralysed from the neck down, and his future suddenly looked very different. It’s not unusual for tears to be shed at the theatre (heaven knows enough of them have come from me over the years), but she was openly weeping, so moved by what she has seen. The only failure in presentation is that one deeply moving sequence involving the lead character seeing his face - real and distorted - in mirrors for a few moments is visible only to those in one corner of the stalls. All three central actors have won Oscars for their acting, and while nobody is outright bad, they all seem to be delivering wrongly attuned performances. With Nick Butcher's unforgettable pop theatrical score, The Little Big Things has leapt from the page to the Soho Place stage in a phenomenal way.Fraser has been involved in the development of The Little Big Things to ensure accuracy and innovation are brought to the stage. Begun as a repackaging of the Success Tips from our blog, this book became so much more as Tom worked and reworked its contents.
