North Platte Community Playhouse
Produced nationally and internationally, Little Women has been praised
by critics for its ambition in adapting such a well-known story for the
stage. This timeless, captivating story is brought to life in this
glorious musical filled with personal discovery, heartache, hope and
everlasting love. The original production starred the unparalleled
Sutton Foster, who received Tony, Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk
nominations for her performance.
Based on Louisa May Alcott’s life,
Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy
March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the
publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her
that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly
taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and
their experience growing up in Civil War America.
Little Women
embodies the complete theatrical experience, guaranteeing a night filled
with laughter, tears and a lifting of the spirit. Little Women features
plenty of great opportunities for female actors and singers ranging in
age from teenage to 60 years old. The show also has a flexible cast size
that can include as few as ten or as many as 42 people! The powerful
score soars with the sounds of personal discovery, heartache and hope –
the sounds of a young America finding its voice.
