LITTLE WOMEN Runs 11/7-29 at Roxy Regional Theatre
By: Tyler Peterson
Originally published at the turn of the nineteenth century, Louisa May Alcott's acclaimed story of love and family stands the test of time. This fall, the Roxy Regional Theatre presents a new version of this enduring American classic with LITTLE WOMEN: The Musical, November 7 - November 29.
Based on Alcott's own life and originally starring Sutton Foster and Maureen McGovern in the Broadway production, LITTLE WOMEN follows the adventures of sisters Jo (Allie McCaw), Meg (Elena Pascullo), Beth (Laura Donnelly) and Amy March (Corinne Bupp) and their experiences growing up in Civil War America. The musical also features Kim Kinsley as Marmee, Michael Spaziani as Laurie Laurence, Chase Miller as John Brooke, Leslie Greene as Aunt March, John McDonald as Mr. Laurence and Tyler Baxter as Professor Bhaer. With music and lyrics by Jason Howland and Mindi Dickstein and book by Allan Knee, the powerful score soars with the sounds of personal discovery, heartache and hope -- the sounds of a young America finding its voice. Under the direction of Tom Thayer, LITTLE WOMEN guarantees a night filled with laughter, tears and a lifting of the spirit.
