What's New

The Big Life is a new

Musical by Paul Sirrett and Paul Joseph.

 

Theatre Review

The Big Life One of the exhilarating things about The Big Life is that it is joyous while depicting - without either mitigation or rancour - the experience of first-generation Caribbean immigrants... Paul Sirett's witty book and lyrics and Paul Joseph's infectiously upbeat score - which embraces jazz, soul, calypso and blues - pluck situations from Shakespeare and transplant them into the initially incongruous setting of 1950s London. Backed with verve by a six-piece band in celestial white suits and angelic wings, the singing and dancing (which include cheeky bumper-to-bumper pelvic grinds) are delivered with terrific attack and the kind of contagious joy that will have the whole joint jumping.
The Independent

A hit musical needs a great book as well as a strong score, and here Sirett has really turned up trumps. It was his inspired idea to graft the story of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost on to his tale of Britain's first wave of West Indian immigrants. an astonishing night.
The Daily Telegraph

The Big Life is great fun, rattling out songs, dances and jokes, and soft-pedalling the hardships suffered by this first, concentrated wave of invited immigrants
London Evening Standard

The Big Life has found a lasting London home.
The Guardian
