The National Theatre has announced the ‘triumphant new musical’ (5 Star WhatsOnStage) The Little Big Things, a production from Michael Harrison, will be available to stream from 9 May 2024 on National Theatre at Home, the theatre streaming platform where audiences around the world can access unmissable theatre anytime, anywhere.
Filmed during its world premiere run at @sohoplace, the ‘show with the biggest heart in town’ (5 Star Sunday Express) directed by Luke Sheppard, is based on the extraordinary true story about Henry Fraser, an avid sportsman whose life changed forever aged 17 when a diving accident led to a new life as a tetraplegic. Based on Henry Fraser’s Sunday Times best-selling autobiography, the musical follows as the Fraser family are split between a past they no longer recognise, and a future they could never foresee.
The ‘uplifting, heart-swelling’ (4 Star Evening Standard) musical written by Joe White includes a theatrical pop soundtrack by Nick Butcher and Tom Ling and Olivier nominated choreography by Mark Smith, with Henry played by Jonny Amies and Ed Larkin.
The Little Big Things will be available to stream on National Theatre at Home with captions, audio description and British Sign Language, providing inclusive and accessible theatre experiences for audiences worldwide. Audiences can stream this ‘groundbreaking’ (4 Star Time Out) production exclusively with a National Theatre at Home subscription available at ntathome.com. This offers unlimited access to the platform with new titles added every month, for a monthly subscription for £9.99 or an annual subscription for £99.99.
Luke Sheppard, Director of The Little Big Things, has said: “We’re thrilled to extend the reach of ‘The Little Big Things’ through the National Theatre at Home streaming platform. Accessibility lies at the centre of this production, and now through this release, a whole new audience can access and experience the power of Henry Fraser's remarkable story.”
