Chris Daniels with The Show Report felt the emotion during Little Women-The Broadway Musical

“not only liberating but heartwarming”

“hitting just the right emotional notes”

“lively characters brought to life”

“a charming story, filled with personal discovery, heartache, hope and everlasting love”

“an entrancing turn by its engaging lead, Sarah Pierce (“Edges,” “Ragtime,” “The Who’s Tommy”) as Alcott’s deliciously hoydenish, brassy, proto-feminist heroine… a joy to watch… her rendition of ‘Astonishing’ at the end of the first act achieved new heights of theatrical excitement, and her vibrant ‘Better’ and ‘The Fire Within Me’ brought chills to the audience.”

“Ms. Chapman’s Meg has an elegant charm and looks to spare with a unique vocal brand that sets her apart. She portrays Meg with a small weakness for luxury and leisure, but also gentle, motherly, and morally vigorous”

“Mr. Van Lent presents impressive vocal power with a spine-tingling finish.”

“Ms. Randolph’s Marmee, sagacious matriarch of the family, keeps a warmly affecting grip on an all-wise, supermom character, infusing the part with grit and impressive strength”

“Glenn Koppel (“Emma, The Musical”) is a big standout as the wealthy, crabby Mr. Laurence”

“a musical that refuses to feel tragic”

“you will leave the theatre feeling you know these sisters as though they’re family”

“Through laughter, tears, and a profound uplifting of spirit, the March sisters will effortlessly wind their way into your heart, and gently take your breath away.”

“a chamber musical with all the elements of a big show: a cast of veteran artists, a critically acclaimed director with impeccable show credentials, and a top caliber creative team.”

“Zac Swan Van Lent’s Laurie is likable, and he brings boyish appeal and an assured composure to the part.”

“Jennifer Sparks adds just the right degree of acerbity to the role as the rich and etiquette-minded aunt”
