Little Women Ballet - Original Full-Length Classical Ballet at Pasadena Playhouse

Following its acclaimed debut, the Little Women Full Length Classical Ballet returns for an encore presentation with three captivating performances between June 21 and 22, 2025 at the historic Pasadena Playhouse. This original, full-length ballet brings the beloved novel to life through dance, celebrating women’s stories and the timeless journey of the March sisters as they come of age during a time marked by war, love, poverty, and profound personal discovery. A moving tribute to family, friendship, and finding one’s voice, Little Women Ballet promises an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages.

After rebounding from the tragedy of the Eaton Fire where Little Women Ballet props, merchandise, painted signage, decorations, and many of the costumes were destroyed, Little Women Ballet thanks its many supporters for assisting in its rebuilding and is thrilled to be able to bring these special and unique experiences back this spring.

Pioneering more ballets about women and their stories, Little Women, is an original ballet, manifesting the coming of age of sisters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy as they navigate an ever-changing world as they learn to embrace their artistic gifts and share them with the world as a source of comfort. A delightful tale of family, friends, finding yourself, and growing up, Little Women will warm the hearts of audiences of all ages.

This original Little Women full-length classical ballet brings Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel to life through dance, celebrating the timeless journey of the March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy – as they navigate love, loss, and personal growth during a transformative era, providing heartfelt and enchanting performances where audiences will witness unforgettable literary moments including Jo’s rejection of Laurie, the whimsical Pickwick Club meetings, and Beth’s touching farewell – all captured through beautiful choreography and storytelling.
