What I liked
As someone with little-to-no experience with the source material, I found this play to be a wonderfully entertaining crash course on a literary classic. All of the performers were more than up to the task, turning on a dime between singalongs, dance numbers, broadly comic bits, and devastating dramatics. And there was a palpable sense of joy in the theater, like everyone involved was having the best time together, and truly loved the original book. Cleverly written, inventively directed, and superbly performed- an all around great show.
What I didn't like
The interpretative dance segment, a dramatization of an accident, was so well done that I wanted more of it.
My overall impression
A thoroughly modern, wildly engaging, and experimentally staged story of how Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women, and why it still affects us today.
