The Little Big Things is a new musical based on Henry Fraser's best-selling autobiography, which will open in the West End at Soho Place this autumn.
This true story about a man paralysed from the shoulders down following an accident premieres at Soho Place from September 9th, until November 25th.
In a statement regarding the production, Fraser commented: "There have been many things that have happened since my accident that I never thought about in life, never planned, and surprised me, in a great way. This musical is one of those moments. I still can’t believe it’s actually happening and it makes me incredibly excited and nervous.”
Henry Fraser was a talented young academy player with a premiership rugby club when he became a tetraplegic in 2009 following a diving accident.
After this tragic and life-altering event, Fraser had to relearn nearly all elements of his day-to-day life. Although this presented him with unimaginable challenges, Henry’s dogged determination and resistance led to him leaving the hospital a year earlier than planned. Henry is now a successful artist, inspirational speaker, and bestselling author.
The Little Big Things charts his inspirational story, aided by a theatrical pop soundtrack in a production directed by Luke Sheppard, with Michael Harrison and Nica Burns producing.
Ed Larkin will star as adult Henry Fraser, with Jonny Aimes playing Boy Henry Fraser. Additional casting is expected to be announced in due course.

Soho Place is a contemporary, intimate, and innovative venue which offers excellent sight lines of the stage throughout, and has been designed specifically to ensure both great view and acoustics no matter where you are seated. Premium seats are located in the front row of the First Balcony, which is a fantastic vantage point from an elevated position, and also the central rows in the Stalls sitting a comfortable distance from the stage which offers a perfect view of the action.
Value can be found in the seats in the Second Balcony which despite being the furthest away from the stage have no obstructions or restrictions to the view and offer clear views of the stage. Tickets to The Little Big Things in the front row of the Stalls can also be a little cheaper due to its close proximity to the stage.
