Louisa May Alcott’s beloved classic is now a delightful musical for the whole family and showcases all of the highlights from her famous novel about Jo, Meg, Beth, Amy, and their adoring Marmee. Managing on their own while their father is away at war, the March women deftly handle challenges, disappointments, and fight for their dreams as they deal with issues still relevant today. The daring re-enactments of Jo’s swashbuckling stories lend an air of adventure and excitement to the story, while the girl’s trials with feisty Mr. Laurence, his charming grandson, Laurie, the dashing tutor, Mr. Brooke, the quiet Professor Bhaer, and curmudgeonly Aunt March make for a evening full of color and fun! The powerful music carries the show as Jo and her family discover what it is that they really want, and who they want to share their lives with.
