Description:
With her father away at war, the indomitable Jo March tucks herself away in the attic and begins writing a joyful and heartbreaking coming of age story while drawing inspiration from her colorful family, including her loving mother and three memorable sisters. Directed by Northwestern faculty emeritus, Dominic Missimi (The Waa Mu Show, Rent), Louisa May Alcott’s famous novel is reimagined in this lush musical featuring a powerful score soaring with the sounds of personal discovery, tragedy and hope -- the sounds of a young America finding its voice and one family’s astonishing journey to love and acceptance.
Book by Allan Knee, Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein and Music by Jason Howland
From the novel by Louisa May Alcott
