“It offers plenty of laughs, and shows that Lipman has lost none of her stage charisma.”

“With its winning performances, reimagined settings and vibrant choreography, there’s no reason this revival shouldn’t join the wealth of British shows currently enjoying success across the pond.”

“Less cynical than Mean Girls and more fun than Heathers, this is a bright, breezy satire that thrives with its era-evocative new score.”

“It's relentlessly funny, sitting comfortably in a West End dotted with fringe shows that have found and maintained a larger audience.”

“Full-throttle pantomime extravaganza featuring star turns all the way”

“Fall’s whip-smart, surprisingly energetic production proves that this is still indeed a play for today.”

“There are many hugely entertaining, well-known exchanges, but it doesn’t really add up to a fully formed play.”

“The Little Big Things is by no means perfect. There are missed opportunities for musical numbers... but these are moot points against such a welcome wave of positivity.”

“The autobiographical narrative, accompanied by carefully edited home videos, is both funny and often deeply moving.”

“The book, music and lyrics may not be hugely sophisticated but the choruses are catchy.”

“Menzel has a powerhouse voice that soars above the orchestra and a personality that shines through the green make-up ready to charm West End audiences.”
