The story is told from Jo’s point of view – Jo being a fictional alter ego of the source material’s author, Louisa May Alcott – and shares her flair for dramatic storytelling. This revival leans into the episodic nature of the musical and delves into a world of memories that are not always entirely accurate or linear. Embracing the nostalgia that has been cultivated over 150 years of encountering this story through the book and films, this production shines a new light on the intersection of art and life.
Ultimately, this is a story about coming into one’s own sense of self and discovering how to tell your own story. Filled with colorful characters, lush music, glorious costumes, and nostalgia for a beloved story, Little Women is an “astonishing” musical, perfect for the holiday season.
