The Little Big Things
Henry Fraser's remarkable story gets the musical treatment
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.

Henry Fraser's remarkable story gets the musical treatment
Henry Fraser's stunning true-life tale of resilience and courage becomes an exciting and uplifting new musical, playing at one of London's newest theatres, @sohoplace, this autumn. Based on Fraser's best-selling autobiography, The Little Big Things echoes his heart and humour as it tells the story of a split-second that changed everything.
With music and lyrics from Nick Butcher and Tom Ling, a book by Olivier Nominee Joe White and direction from Luke Sheppard, the new production is imbued with exciting young talent who imbue and expand Henry's remarkable journey with an electrifying score and staging. If you need more convincing, the soundtrack is already available on music streaming services!
What is the story?
When a diving accident in 2009 left rugby player Henry Fraser a tetraplegic, he is faced with a future he never imagined.
