Advance sales are going very fast for 'The Big Life', which returns to Theatre Royal Stratford East on February 4.

With a week to go before the show opens, ' The Big Life' has registered the highest advance sales for any show outside of panto at the Theatre Royal. Because ' The Big Life ' is on for a limited run, now is your chance to get in quick before it sells out!

"It's an important story from recent British history told in a wonderful, joyous way," says Kerry Michael , the new artistic director of Theatre Royal. "Demand the first time was overwhelming, with many people not able to get tickets. That is why we're bringing it back."

' The Big Life ' is an acclaimed and heart-warming musical that received universally rave reviews and played to sold-out audiences when it was staged at the Theatre Royal in May. ' The Big Life ' is a feel-good ska musical that captures the mood of the period in the music and charts the stories of Caribbean migrants in their hunt for a better life.
