Stage Review: Little Women

Little Women, at Centerpoint Legacy Theatre, is a beautiful production.

All of the actors are very strong vocally and in their character development. The actors who play the four sisters have wonderful chemistry, and their relationships with Marmie (their mother) are believable, especially between Jo and Marmie, as they are really mother and daughter. This relationship made the song, "Days of Plenty," which Marmie sings to Jo, even more touching.

The costumes were incredible, and I especially loved Amy's black dress and hat she wears when she returns from Europe. The set worked well for each scene. The actors had wonderful voices, and they had a beautiful score to work with.

I have to give a special shout-out to my friend Megan, who plays Amy, the youngest March sister (she's the only blond sister). She does a wonderful job showing her growth in the musical from a spoiled little girl to a lovely, mature young woman. This is Megan's second time playing the role, and I enjoyed seeing her play the character again.

All in all, this was just a delightful production, filled with beautiful music, humor, delight, sorrow, and wonderful acting.

It closes Saturday, so hurry and go see it!
