Even if the setting of “Little Women” is 150 years old, its themes are timeless, says the director of a March sisters musical that opens today at the Catoosa County Colonnade.
“Little Women – The Broadway Musical,” which runs this weekend and next, is the inaugural work by Ever After Productions.
The semi-autobiographical play by Louisa May Alcott features music by Jason Howland, lyrics by Mindi Dickstein and book by Allan Knee. The production will feature a live orchestra.
“The show is a must-see because of the journey it takes you on,” director Jonathan Humble said. “We all struggle with growing up. We all want to be astonishing. We all want to make something of ourselves. You see what Jo is going through [with] all of these triumphs and tragedies. It really speaks to the modern audiences.”
