Review: THE LITTLE BIG THINGS at Royal Theatre Carré Amsterdam
by André Böke - Jul 26, 2026

“It’s the little big things you leave behind.” Few new musicals have captured audiences quite like „The Little Big Things“, and Amsterdam's new non-replica production proves exactly why. Presented as part of the Carré Theatre's tenth-anniversary „Broadway in Carré“ series, Ola Mafaalani's staging combines an outstanding cast, breathtaking visuals and remarkable emotional depth to create an evening that lingers long after the curtain calls. More than a moving story about resilience, it is a celebration of family, healing and inclusion—told from a perspective that feels both deeply personal and profoundly universal.

Review: THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, Starring Ralf Little
by Aliya Al-Hassan - May 20, 2026

Author John Le Carré famously banned stage versions of his work, and he may well have felt quietly vindicated with his decision having seen David Eldridge's adaptation of his third book, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. Jeremy Herrin directs a cinematic and darkly-tinged production that ends up being more style over substance.

In many ways, @sohoplace is the perfect venue for The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind: the intimate thrust staging is perfect for elaborate ensemble choreography and carousing the audience. This new musical, based on the memoir and film of the same name, is at its heart a story about community, and it works if we feel as immersed in that community as possible.
