It is fairly true to the film in terms of characters and family problems etc. The music has a real beauty - it is very well performed and lyrically it is a very strong show. Although it starts with a funural scene it is fully 90 minutes later and only 10 before end of show that the illness is declared. So it really does concentrate very much on the boy, gril, family relationship rather than death, but it certainly ends up a real tear jerker. It is as good a piece of theatre as I have seen in the last couple of years but I enjoyed (rather than loved) the film.
