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
Review: Fly More Than You Fall at Southwark Playhouse Elephant
6 / 10
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.
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.
