The critically acclaimed new British musical The Little Big Things - based on the Sunday Times best-selling memoir by Henry Fraser - is to release an official West End cast recording.

The 19-song collection, which has music by Nick Butcher and lyrics by Nick Butcher & Tom Ling, will be available digitally worldwide and on CD from @sohoplace. Release date and full details to be announced.

Nick Butcher, Tom Ling and writer Joe White said: “We're thrilled that the Original West End Cast Recording of The Little Big Things will be available soon and we look forward to sharing it with fans of the show and new audiences alike.

“Our goal was to craft an epic soundtrack, one that celebrates the show's unique heart and captures the electric atmosphere that our extraordinary cast and band bring to Henry Fraser’s extraordinary story every night in the West End.”

Based on the Sunday Times best-selling autobiography by Henry Fraser, The Little Big Things is a new British musical with an explosive theatrical pop soundtrack in a world premiere production. This uplifting and colourful new musical is a life-affirming reminder about the transformative power of family, and how sometimes it really is the little things which matter the most.

An avid sportsman and academy player with a premiership Rugby club, Henry Fraser’s life changed forever when in 2009 he had a diving accident. From that moment he had a new life to live as a tetraplegic and new circumstances to accept and adapt to. Henry’s defiance and determination to prosper against devastating odds led to him wheeling himself out of hospital a whole year earlier than predicted. Today he is a successful artist, inspirational speaker and best-selling author.

The cast featured includes Ed Larkin and Jonny Amies as Henry Fraser, Linzi Hateley and Alasdair Harvey as Henry’s parents, Fran Fraser and Andrew Fraser, Jordan Benjamin as Dom, Rebecca Bowden as Surgeon, Jamie Chatterton as Tom, Gracie McGonigal as Katie, Tom Oliver as Marco, Malinda Parris as Dr Graham, Cleve September as Will, and Amy Trigg as Agnes, alongside Stephen John Davis, Elena Pitsiaeli, George Salmon, Amy West and Joseph Wolff.
