Review: LITTLE WOMEN THE MUSICAL with Studio 42 & Co at The Melody Theater in Leachville
by Theresa Bertram - May 16, 2025

It always excites me to visit a new theater, especially when it's a historic gem nestled in the heart of the Arkansas Delta. There’s a distinct charm stepping into The Melody Theater in Leachville, which began showing movies in 1948. The walls definitely echo with stories of performances past, so it was super cool to see Studio 42 & Co production of Little Women: The Musical (Book by Allan Knee, Music by Jason Howland, Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein),  come to life during the first weekend of May. Director Sarah Poe curated a remarkable cast that showcased just how rich Northeast Arkansas is in musical talent.
