“Little Women the Broadway Musical” is directed by Skyline co-founder and artistic director Sam Scalamoni with musical direction by Fernanda Douglas. The musical’s book is by Allan Knee, with lyrics by Mindi Dickstein and music by Jason Howland, and is based on Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 semi-autobiographical two-volume novel.
“Our audiences have long been awaiting a return to our theatre, and we can’t wait for them to enjoy this truly timeless tale of family and of love and of hope…all things we appreciate today more than ever,” said director Sam Scalamoni. “This beautiful production is charming from beginning to end, features heroic women role models, and is a coming-of-age story that will astonish young and old alike.”
