'Little Women: The broadway musical'
By Tina Borgatta and John GordonPublished: November 01, 2009
Adapted from the classic children’s book by American author Louise May Alcott, “Little Women: The Broadway Musical’ follows the lives of four sisters living in Concord, Mass., during the Civil War. The opening scene captures the girls chatting about Christmas and “trying to find something to be happy about,” since their father is away, serving as a chaplain for the Union Army.
This production marks the second in a series of offerings designed for families during the holidays.
“Our audiences really enjoyed our staging of ‘Anne of Green Gables’ for the past two years, and we’re looking forward to offering another classic tale that will be perfect for the entire family,” says Chance Theater's director, Casey Long, who is also directing the production.
Among some of The Chance’s other notable productions of the past year: an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull,” “Hair” and “Evita.”
Now celebrating its 10-year anniversary, The Chance Theater is a gem. Since its debut season in 1999 – which featured a lineup of original works by local talent – it has gained acclaim for being among Southern California’s leading ensemble-based companies. This year alone, it won six Ovation Awards, as well as kudos from Arts Orange County, the Orange County Register and MyFoxLA’s OC Hotlist.
