Little Women: The Broadway Musical

Description

This September, Renton Civic Theatre is thrilled to present Little Women: The Broadway Musical. Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel of girlhood, perseverance and finding oneself has captivated folks since it was first published in 1868, and dazzled theatre audiences around the world. The story follows the March sisters during the Civil War after the girls’ father heads off to support the war effort for the North.  Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy are then left with their mother to navigate adolescence in the face of many challenges. A tapestry of moving music weaves themes of self-determination, class, family, and feminism through a beautiful story that brings audiences along as the women navigate their lives in ‘astonishing’ ways. 

Little Women has been lovingly adapted into films, plays and musicals for more than a century as its timeless lessons continue to resonate with readers and audiences alike. This stage version, directed by Taylor Davis-Schupbach, features a stunning score and songs that have become beloved classics since the musical debuted in 2005.

Renton Civic Theatre invites both longtime book lovers and theatregoers alike to experience this classic story live on stage this September.
