Based on Louisa May Alcott's classic 1869 semi-autobiographical novel, Little Women focuses on the four March sisters - brassy, tomboy-like, aspiring writer Jo, romantic Meg, pretentious Amy, and kind-hearted Beth - and their beloved Marmee, at home in Concord, Massachusetts while the family patriarch is away serving as a Union Army chaplain during the Civil War. Intercut with the vignettes in which their lives unfold are several recreations of the melodramatic short stories Jo writes in her attic studio.
Little Women premiered on Broadway in 2005 and starred Maureen McGovern, Jenny Powers & Megan McGinnis. Following its Broadway run, Little Women embarked on a 30 city US National Tour.
