The National Theatre has announced that hit musical The Little Big Things will be available to stream on National Theatre at Home from 9 May.

Filmed during its world premiere run at @sohoplace, the show 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 musical, written by Joe White, includes a theatrical pop soundtrack by Nick Butcher and Tom Ling, with Olivier nominated choreography by Mark Smith, and 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 production exclusively with a National Theatre at Home subscription available here. 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.

Director of The Little Big Things, Luke Sheppard, 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.”
