When Malia’s mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer, her life is thrown into turmoil. As she navigates the emotional rollercoaster of her mother’s illness, Malia finds solace and strength in her writing.
Her imaginative world, featuring a courageous bird named Willow, becomes a powerful metaphor for her own struggles and triumphs.
Through the support of her friends, the guidance of her family, and her own inner resolve, Malia learns to face her fears and embrace hope, discovering that even in the darkest times, we can find the courage to soar.
This charming upbeat new musical navigates grief and will break your heart and mend it all in one night.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Fly More Than You Fall
Fly More Than You Fall review
4 / 10
Holmes and Zegree’s brave, original musical tackles its difficult subject matter head-on, but it often seems that the writers have bitten off more than they can chew. Malia’s writing project becomes a metaphor for the grieving process, and Holmes dramatises her fiction as she rewrites the text. It’s an interesting theatrical device that occasionally helps to relieve the tension and serves to inform us of Malia’s state of mind. But the dialogue veers too often between cliché and melodrama, with a disregard for thoughtful character development.
Fly More Than You Fall review – teenage grief given a lift with sensational, soaring songs
8 / 10
There are peculiarities, such as the set, which is a confusion of stairs and an ascending mound of pastel paper that represents a mountain in Malia’s fictional story. Overall it makes for a rather un-British experience, but it creeps into its own brilliance, in spite of the heavy doses of sentimentality. You can’t but be affected by the story, and blown away by the songs.
