Synopsis
Based on Louisa May Alcott’s life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America.
Little Women delivers a complete theatrical experience, guaranteeing a show filled with laughter, tears, and a lift in the spirit.

It depends. Usually we will stop you when we have heard enough. We may only need a few lines, or we may want to hear lots for a specific reason. We may even get you to sing parts of your song again.
