Is there a story more universally connected to the experience of girlhood than Little Women? Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 coming-of-age novel is a beloved read across the world, with its descriptions of sisterly devotion, struggle, love, and loss. The March sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy - have woven themselves into the lives of women and girls since their publication. The March sisters are also no strangers to the theatre, and this is not the first time that someone tries to adapt it for the stage, and we’ve had quite a few less-than-deserving examples that shall go unmentioned.

Final casting has been announced for the world premiere semi-staged concert of Jo - The Little Women Musical in Concert at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Sunday January 25, 2026.

SAG Award winner Peri Gilpin – the actress best known for NBC’s Emmy-winning “Frasier” – and her daughter Ava Vincent, an accomplished graphic designer, have joined the producing team for the Jo - The Little Women Musical.

Michael McKeever's play mixes fact, gossip, and invention in a spicy drama that offers a biting comment on the grime behind the glitter of Hollywood. John Partridge is superb as Billy Haines, both a smooth charmer and a crumpled defeatist.The Code is a very artificial play in many ways. It gleefully regurgitates snark and gossip and treads a line where folks have to 'put on a show' within a show.

The cast has been set for the brand-new London production of THE CODE by Michael McKeever, which will run at Southwark Playhouse Elephant. Learn more here!

Recently, we had the chance to talk with Cameron Johnson, who plays Colonel Martin in Here We Are.

Do you ever feel bad making fun of some of these folks? Because I mean, let's face it, Broadway actors. They take themselves a little bit seriously. I am terrified of interviewing Patti Lupone!
