The piece, penned by Nick Butcher, Tom Ling and Joe White, is based on the best-selling memoir by Henry Fraser, who became almost entirely paralysed during an accident on holiday. It received a stellar five-star write-up from WhatsOnStage last September when it had its world premiere in the West End.

The show played a limited season until 2 March 2024 at new venue @sohoplace. Late last year it was nominated for four WhatsOnStage Awards including Best New Musical, going on to win Best Casting Direction in February.

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.”
