OHMYGOD HEY!
Today I'm reacting to a brand new cast recording: the newly released album from the original West End cast of the new musical The Little Big Things.
The 19-song album, which has music by Nick Butcher and lyrics by Nick Butcher & Tom Ling, is available digitally worldwide and on CD from @sohoplace.
Based on the best-selling memoir by Henry Fraser, with a book by Joe White, The Little Big Things opened @sohoplace in September and has now extended until 2 March 2024.
Check out today's brand new video for my reaction to hearing this cast recording for the very first time and make sure to give it a listen for yourself!

I’m disabled and heard so many good things about this show, and this got me so emotional (in a good way) it’s been my final push to get me to see this and now I’m desperate to book tickets.. Thankyou so much for filming about accessibility-centred shows.. the visibility means so much! ❤️
Seen it six times, and will almost certainly be at double figures by March 2. Best show in London. Outstanding cast recording, though the purist in me is sad that they didn't record the more up to date versions of Little Big Things, Guide You, Miles and Miles and Feel Like This, and I was sad they didn't include the Prologue and One To Seventeen (Reprise) sung by Andrew towards the end. But will definitely be making a return visit, hopefully next week, to see it again and to pick up some physical CDs for myself and my brother.
As a newbie to this musical I really appreciated the little plot explanations throughout because now I'll go listen to it and be able to follow along completely. Super catchy tunes, was fun listening along with you!
As an American I kept thinking how different it would have been if it happened here. Family bankruptcies gofundme to pay expenses family arguments over money. You are so lucky to have the NHS
Isn’t that what insurance is for though
Medicare was meant to be rolled out to everyone. Then idiots voted for Reagan, Reagan killed it, and then he sent absolutely everything to shit, and ultimately led us here to fascism 2024 and the outrageous scam that is the healthcare business. The UK is being led down the same trajectory, only the politicians here have the hard work of cutting and undermining the NHS so that people won't fight for it when they privatize everything and start jacking up all the prices (like they did with universities, which now cost 40 times what it cost 20 years ago.)
@@TheMrdominator1997depends. Not everyone's insurance covers everything and then you have to worry about deductibles and co-pays. oh and they can deny what care they will cover and what doctors you can you use. It's beyond complicated
@@clowchan As someone who works for a doctor’s office, we also have to deal with Prior Authorizations (getting insurance approvals). It is the worst.
After my 1st listen when this dropped I quickly revisited your review then spent the next half of my day listening to the audio version of Henry's book. What a joyous celebration of a journey that I predict will easily make my wrapped this year. I think the British Pop comparison was spot on & overall I may enjoy this more than Dear Evan Hansen. Such a shame to be in the US (& broke) because I'd love to see this one in person. Silence of The Sea BROKE ME in a much more deserved way than Words Fail & I am so thankful for it. REACT REQUESTS: KPop (something out of your wheelhouse that deserves more attention after it's too short run) Fun Home (Happy 10th anniversary) Time Travelers Wife & when released the new Death Note concept recording.
Loved this show and you've reminded me why. So glad we are going to it again.
Completely recommend this show for those who haven't seen it.
Support junior doctors. That's why I love you, keeping it real!
The family are from Hampshire. They talk about Dad's boat being moored near Christchurch not far from The New Forest. When his Dad sells the boat it goes to Chichester harbour x
Love this video! Felt like I was listening and jamming to the cast recording with a friend.
Saw this between xmas and new year and really enjoyed it. My parents did too although my Dad (soon to be 70) felt every song ended up with much the same driving beat, uptempo and loud. He felt this was a shame as it made it all feel a bit samey (I agree to some extent) and that it meant some fab harmonies and amazing voices didn't get to be properly showcased.
The NHS song was made especially powerful as Jeremy Hunt (and family) were sitting front row directly opposite me!
Finally as an FYI the away for 6th form thing. This is standard pipeline to professional rugby. Many of the youth coaches at county, regional and national level work as public school rugby coaches for their day jobs. They recruit talent who aren't already at public schools into their teams on 6th form scholarships. One of my brothers was one.
I have seen it twice now and love it x Got the book for Christmas too ❤ Did you see Jordan Benjamin as Hercules in the 100 Year's of Disney segment on The Royal Variety Performance as well ? Omg I love his voice so much !!
And no coincidence that this Dad was in Come From Away !
Have missed these! Thanks for choosing this one as I was really intrigued by the show's premise :)
I got rush tickets to this a few months ago and they ended up being front row!! One of the best west end shows I’ve seen to date!
I saw this show with my college the other day and I haven’t stopped listening to the album since. The show was AMAZING
I'm going back for the third time in the last week and so glad they brought out a cast album. I need that bear now too!
One to seventeen is on a par with "He's My Boy" from ETAJ for us Mums out there x
I saw this show on 5/1/2024 and I'm OBSESSED!
Can’t wait to hear what your opinion is on the sound track. I loved the video where you reacted to the shucked sound track
I hope this show makes it over to the states, I would love to see it.
I loved this show so much. Really surprised it didn’t make your top 25
I loved this show but watching it, I didn’t get any DEH from it. What I did get was Obviously from Bake Off at the start of Things We Shouldn’t Do and I still can’t unhear it
I can't wait for mean girls musical movie soundtrack reaction.
I saw it on complimentary tickets, I wonder how it has done in comparison to expectations before opening
I love watching you chair dance!!!!
I want to thank you for your theater reviews. I have enjoyed watching you for awhile now, and was so excited for your travels to Broadway! More importantly, you have piqued my interest and desire to visit the West End. As a retired operating room nurse, I may have the chance to visit London this year. Thank you, again, for being you and a trusted theater critic! I hope to have the opportunity to meet you one day! Happy New Year! Clegg
Really enjoyed listening to you and the cast recording. Hope it tours. I can see it’s being audio described on the 20th but think I will not be able to get down for it.
Might be a hard one to tour. Not enough theatres probably have as accessible a stage as soho place.
@@danielrobinson7350 we do have the exchange in Manchester which is a theatre in the round not 100% sure how accessible if it could be performed on a normal stage the Lowry is accessible I’ve been on that stage many times. We can only hope
I believe there is a new radio channel 'Magic Musicals' thar has been launched. I wonder whether a review of this radio channel might be fun?
The Silence of the Sea was very JCS for me ❤
Miles and Miles is very Fisherman's Friends ❤
When is your next live chat? LOTS to talk about.
Really love the soundtrack too! But I’m so disappointed that they axed all the orchestral pieces that they had on the setlist they posted on Instagram in mid-December
Lovin your TLBT teddy merch but why did they miss a trick and not make it a bunny as that is what Henry keeps on his bed and what his Dad removes from his bed when he comes out of hospital ?
Is it me or does this show has a bit of a shucked the musical feel to it. Soon as I heard Work of Heart I instantly heard Independently Owned lol
Do you know if there have been any disabled reviewers who have reviewed the show? I’m always very wary of disabled stories that are marketed as being inspirational
Here's one!
wheeliestagey.co.uk/2023/09/25/the-little-big-things-soho-place/
I don’t know of any professional disabled reviewers who have reviewed the show (ShonaLouiseBlog, who took the rehearsals photographs for the show speaks about the show and working in the rehearsal room in Perry O’Bree’s vlog of a rehearsal sneak peak), but I have TOF/OA and Scoliosis and I for one can say that I related in some way to the majority of experiences that are portrayed onstage and so did my mum from her perspective. It was amazing to see myself and my life represented onstage. For me, it definitely did not come off as inspiring 😊. I hope that this helped😊
I really hated this show. I felt it mostly glossed over the reality of living with a disability. And the songs are mostly clunky, the performances twee and insincere. I think it does musical theatre a disservice, it’s exactly what people who hate musicals think musicals are like. Shallow chintz.
Agreed! I don't think it's as good for the general understanding of disability as people think it is either...
