The Little Big Things: The Inspirational Memoir of the Year

Product Information

The Little Big Things is on until 25th November at @sohoplace - please do go and see it, it’s inspiring, life-affirming, beautifully constructed and performed and will stay with you for a very long time. Row C is still very close to the stage. They’re comfortable, though they do make you sit up straight. Legroom is limited, but much better than row A (which are cramped), but still next to no space for coats, bags etc.. C1 and C2 are at the end of the row, affording a little more room for whoever takes the row end seat. That said, the aisles are often in use (in The Little Big Things they have ramps) so don’t expect to be able to put items alongside. Luke Sheppard directs with zest, Mark Smith doing his best to choreograph to all four sides of the auditorium alongside him. The speed of youth is captured by both, and we can forgive a little indulgence in the final sequence as it probably seemed a good idea at the time and is a “take home” image whether it truly serves the whole or not. The performances are strong too, and Parris is a particular highlight along with Amy Trigg’s plain-speaking physiotherapist (“shit happens,” she sings). The show brings to life the captivating and inspirational memoir of Henry Fraser, a Sunday Times best-selling author.

Theatres use "dynamic pricing." Seat prices change according to demand for a particular performance. Prices below were compiled as booking originally opened. Current prices are advised at time of enquiry. The bravery of Henry and the Fraser family in bearing their souls and allowing their story to be recreated on stage. And the cast and team behind this show do it justice. Every single detail is perfect. I don’t want to single out any actor, any effect, anything. Each detail combines to make this a masterpiece. If Ed Larkin as central character Henry does not quite find the rhythm of his opening and closing speeches, he makes up for it for the most part in his interactions with his earlier self (eager Jonny Amies) and his brothers. Can Tom Peters Help Us Find Excellence In An America That Needs To Re-Set Its Thinking? Huffington Post, 1 April 2010 Ed Larkin as Man Henry Fraser, and Jonny Amies as Boy Henry Fraser; with Linzi Hateley as Fran Harvey, and Alasdair Harvey as Andrew Harvey.Bus numbers: (Tottenham Ct Rd Station) 7, 10, 14, 24, 29, 73, 134, 242; (New Oxford St) 1, 8, 25, 55, 98, 176, 390 Equally memorable, Amy Trigg as physiotherapist Agnes overcomes the writers rather determined patronisation and stereotyping to produce much-needed comedy relief, even if eventually the joke is stretched somewhat thin. If, however, you have been there yourself or been closely involved with those experiencing it, it could well feel like something of a missed opportunity - even patronising, the show's writers missing some knowledge to infuse the construct.

Luke Sheppard ( & Juliet and My Son’s a Queer) directs the production, with Michael Harrison and Nica Burns producing. It is a lovable tearjerker nonetheless with a disarming sweetness and bearing all the signs of being an immense crowd-pleaser.Less successful, lead doctor Malinda Parris as Dr Graham is lumbered with an outrageously political lyric which does not really hold up to much scrutiny. Still, Parris does her best – in every sense – within the context. The Little Big Things CastEd Larkin makes his West End theatre debut as Henry Fraser and Jonny Aimes portrays the artist in his younger years.

How an audience member reacts to this show, the monkey feels, will depend largely on their personal experiences of the subject matter.Outstanding lighting and video design from Howard Hudson and Luke Halls respectively adds a considerable amount throughout. Painting with light, animation and illumination melding in constantly dazzling and important ways to augment the story must be award-winning at some point. Tom Peters on The Little BIG Things, Part One (27 March 2010), and Part Two (28 March 2010), Anthony Iannarino at The Sales Blog I’ve just had the most exciting night in a theatre for years. The Little Big Things is an all British musical and it’s a total triumph" - Andrew Lloyd Webber 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. This musical is one of those moments. The guys have been great to work with and the moment they played me a couple of songs I was sold.”
