The dreamlike set designed by Stewart J. Charlesworth features an angelic bird made of writing scratches, and Jack Weir’s lighting transitions scenes swiftly with Sam Vincent’s melodic piano score. With such delicacy, Fly More Than You Fall is a well-crafted musical not lacking in its visuals but could benefit from exploiting its core message more profoundly.

But it is too harsh to conclude that Fly More Than You Fall falls more than it flies. In terms of production values, it works well, with Sam Vincent’s sound design striking a good balance between the band and the cast’s voices, quite critical in a show with rapidly delivered lyrics. The show seemed to strike a chord with some in the press night audience, though I wasn’t sure if the sniffling towards the end was down to the emotional poignancy of the show or the air conditioning being on in a London theatre in late October.
