Based on Louisa May Alcott's own family experiences (and novel), "Little Women, the Broadway Musical" follows the adventures of Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March as they grow up in Civil War America with their beloved mother Marmee in Concord, Massachusetts while the family patriarch is away serving as a Union Army chaplain. The beloved story of the March sisters is timeless and deals with issues as relevant today as when the story was written. The wonderful narrative has been brought to life in the exhilarating Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning musical filled with glorious music, dancing and heart.
