I enjoyed the production very much. I was impressed with how well I could hear the performers.
Well acted, poignant story line
I appreciated that the actors were not mic’d. I could hear their real voices, instead of being blasted away by amplified distortion…
Great as always!
I loved the whole performance but the sets drew my eyes the second I sat down. I loved how the backdrop screen changed with every scene. It helped make the play flow. Each character was flawless but my favorite was Fritz.
I thought that the performances were excellent!
Far above expectations; will be back for other shows!
We both agreed the acting and the play was excellent and we were talking about it again the next day.
I was amazed really at the quality of the performance. Loved the piano!
A very heartwarming performance. The cast was fantastic. A must see!
good singing
It was spectacular. The production team did a fantastic job, the accompaniment was superb, and the musicality of each performer was outstanding. I sobbed throughout the entirety of the second act, and as I shook each cast member’s hand after the performance I was met by endless smiles and kind words. Thank you all. You did a phenomenal job.
Fantastic!
Excellent story; didn’t even know it had been made into a musical. A classic. Excellent voices. Very pleased.
The love that the family shared was evident throughout the performance. Wonderful and professional acting by all.
First of all, the opening was a big surprise. I didn’t expect to see what some of us Little Women fans would think was suppose to be later in the play. But as the play developed, I thought it a brilliant idea. Love the fact, that directors and writers change up old stories. The key inner stories were kept true to the original book and movies. My guests, three adult women who loved the story of course and two children (my great-granddaughters age 11 and 8) who can’t stop talking about the play. As for me, I give it an 8 out of 10 and fell in love with the music. My favorite actor was Jimmy Saiz who has a wonderful voice and Ashley made for a wonderful Jo March. Hoping there will be a production next year. Donna
What an amazing series this year ending with a wonderful musical “Little Women”. We enjoyed every bit of the show. The set design was so creative. The period costumes really set the tone of that era. The cast was incredibly strong led by Ashley Nelson as Jo. I also want to acknowledge the casting associates for picking just the right people for the roles. And that goes for all 4 sisters especially Emma Nossal as Beth. Thank you for bringing outstanding theater to our community.
Enjoy the intimacy of the theater and the director’s welcome at the beginning of the evening.
The acting was very very good, excellent it made me cry. ( I am not a crier)
Excellent acting; moving music
The show was expertly directed and performed. I had to remind myself that I wasn’t at SCR! All actors were wonderful and fantastic singers.
I loved it! … All the actors were wonderful and kudos to the director as well. Pianist did a great job
The actors worked together like a real family. We enjoyed the talented performers who created a fun and memorable experience.
The entire cast had amazing talent. … Very moving! The cast had beautiful voices.
Great play! Very sweet.
Pleasant experience. Will return.
The entire musical was a joy to behold! The caliber of the acting was off the charts, it was truly Broadway worthy!
I expected the performance to be good- but it far exceeded my expectations. Every single part of it was well executed and on point, every note sung, every movement of the actors, every set piece and lighting cue moved the story along, and swept me away with the characters. I am blown away by the level of theatre that is offered at The Chance. Superb.
I was incredibly impressed with the production and was amazed that it was their first preview. It was closing night quality. The entire cast was phenomenal. Emma Nossel as Beth was delightful and wonderfully believable and Rachel Oliveras Catalano was a perfect Marmee. I was wrecked by her performance of Days of Plenty, it was beautiful!
The actors were very professional and so natural and enthusiastic and funny!!!
Also, I lost my young sister (27) many years ago and I was remembering her and remembering how sad it was and how time has healed my loss.
Loved little Amy (Alea) and the actress who potrayed beth
LOVED the small (microphone-free) venue! It was so intimate. I liked how the actors moved around the floor – even out the side doors etc. It made it seem like you (the audience) were in the middle of their world. I also liked that the pianist was partially out in the open, not behind a curtain. He was there all the time, but not distracting.
… Also, Jo stole my heart, she was incredibly believable, her character really pulled me in. Amy was feisty and had such a BIG personality. I loved her character! Thank you Alea Jordan! You were so much fun to watch and made me laugh so hard. You’ve got guts to go up there against the other actors and play such a strong part.
I’ve gone to shows before where I kept looking at my watch, but here, the minutes went by and I didn’t even notice. Such great casting with each character too! Thank you for all your work! I loved it!
Oh, and I also really appreciated meeting the casting director and producer personally. This was very special. Thank you for caring about the audience’s thoughts and opinions. I’d never seen such vulnerability like this before.
The entire performance was magical! The cast was superb and we all left with smiles on our faces! WE LOVED IT!
I liked how the photos in the back changed. The actors were all very good
There were seven of us, and we loved it! The true Little Women afficianado in our group was delighted with its staying true to the book. I thought the set was used to good affect, the music was well done.
Beautiful performances. … The cast was very talented and cohesive.
Great for kids and families!
