The Little Big Things acquired by licensing house Music Theatre International

Butcher, Ling and White said: “We’re delighted to share The Little Big Things and the story of Henry Fraser and his family beyond London’s West End.

“This is a joyous musical about human resilience and the power of accessibility, made to break down barriers, and this partnership continues that promise. The UK fell in love with this life-affirming new musical and we can’t wait for the rest of the world to experience it.”

Harrison said: “I’m delighted that The Little Big Things is now part of the MTI catalogue. This is a musical very close to my heart.

“It was an honour to help bring Henry Fraser’s extraordinary story to the stage and I am so excited that more audiences will now have the opportunity to experience its heart and its humour. Most of all, I’m proud that future productions will continue to champion accessibility and representation, opening doors for performers and audiences alike.”

MTI’s catalogue includes Disney musicals and Broadway shows such as Rent. In 2022, the licensing house acquired Dear Evan Hansen. 

Seán Gray, managing director of MTI’s London office, added: “It’s a real privilege to announce MTI’s representation of The Little Big Things, one of the most exciting and unique musicals to appear on the London stage in recent years. 

“Who could fail to be inspired by the remarkable Henry Fraser, the artist whose memoir tells of his and his family’s struggle to adapt to and cope with a life-changing accident? We are proud to bring to the world a new musical that gives two wheelchair-using actors the opportunity to play leading roles on the musical stage.”
