One of the masterpieces of silent cinema made by Charlie Chaplin is transformed into a lively and moving musical on the stage of the Regina Maria Theater.

The story is a simple one: Charlie Chaplin, a film director, while on the set giving a speech to his employees, learns some sad news. But this whole moment is interrupted by a kid, who is running from the police and asks the director to pretend to be his father. This is where the idea of a touching but humorous film starts, in which the protagonists are a poor glazier and an orphaned child, who go through all sorts of adventures together.

The show retains the gags typical of Chaplin's films and adds the dynamism of verbal humor and musical theater.

"The Little One" falls specifically into the so-called "family theater" category, as it can be easily watched by children from elementary school age to seniors... for the latter, this world brings back many nostalgic memories. The show is a model, an example of family theater in the most classic sense of the word. The whole family can feel good after such an evening. Living many funny moments and thinking about what they saw. (Halasi Imre)
