About this event

A musical based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott.

Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein
Music by Jason Howland
Book by Allan Knee
Performed by arrangement with Music Theatre International

Based on Louisa May Alcott’s life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America.

The story of the March sisters, aspiring writer Jo, traditional Meg, ambitious Amy and sweet-natured Beth has enchanted generations of children and their dreams and struggles are ideally suited to a musical format. This adaptation opened on Broadway in 2005 but was not staged in the UK until 2018.

Little Women is performed by the British Theatre Academy.

Details

We aim to make our site available to everyone as far as we can, however the steep, rocky geography of the Minack does create some access limitations. If you have concerns or questions about access please contact us and we will help in any way we can. We have ramped access to all the visitor facilities on the site, however the main auditorium and stage are only accessible via long flights of steps. Our car park has accessible parking bays adjacent to the theatre entrance and there is a ramp for wheelchair access to the visitor centre. Within the site there is ramped access to the exhibition centre and café, and there is an accessible toilet. If you’re coming to a performance and would like to use the accessible balcony please call our Box Office on +44 (0)1736 810181. Spaces are limited, so please book as early as possible. A hearing loop is available in the Lower Terraces and on our Accessible Balcony. We can also provide Assistive Hearing Headsets, suitable for users with or without hearing aids, who may need a little extra boost from our sound.
