Synopsis:
In this faithful musical adaptation, Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth grow from girls into women, guided by their mother, Marmee, through romance and loss, illness and courtship, growing up, and letting go. Originally slated for Broadway, this version of
Little Women was cut loose due to creative differences when the producers wanted to take the story in an entirely new direction, leading to a version which ran on Broadway in 2005. Returning to their BMI roots, Alison Hubbard and Kim Oler continued to work on
Little Women and caught the attention of playwright, lyricist, and composer Sean Hartley, a BMI Workshop member known for his intimate musical
Cupid & Psyche (World Premiere at Village Theatre and recipient of a 2003 Drama Desk Award nomination). Hartley wrote a new libretto for the show and reconceived it from the ground up, working from the novel and remaining uninfluenced by the recent Broadway version.
