Trigger warning: Mentions of suicide and depression
Last week, the media filled the rehearsal room for the press call of Little Piece of You: An Atypical Musical in Concert, offering an inside look at this dynamic new musical. Promising a raw, emotional, relatable and transformative story about a young person navigating mental health struggles, the concert staging gives the piece room to breathe without the full weight of production design.
The score is the show's greatest strength — melodically inventive, lyrically honest, and performed with tremendous conviction by a talented young cast. The material handles its difficult subject matter with care and without sentimentality. One to watch.
