An astonishing live-theatre production based on the beloved classic novel, Little Women: The Broadway Musical is hitting Rosebud Theatre’s Opera House stage this summer.
Louisa May Alcott’s timeless, captivating story of the March family is brought to life in this glorious musical filled with personal discovery, joy, heartache, and hope. Jo March weaves the story of her and her sisters, Meg, Beth and Amy, and their adventures growing up in the wake of the American Civil War.
Rosebud favourite Cassia Schmidt is featured as Jo March. “There is so much about Jo March that is unexpected. She doesn’t fit the ‘leading lady’ criteria, and I love her for it! She’s bold, she won’t ‘settle’ or ‘live according to society.’ She is driven by her passion and her dreams. Through her story, she discovers that the most ordinary story, her own, is truly the most astonishing.
The story is heartfelt, heroic, and funny. The characters are all so strong and lovable, and the music is glorious!” Also featured in the cast is Rosebud School of the Arts 4th year student Karyssa Komar.
“I’m most looking forward to building relationships on stage with some of the professional actors. It’s such a cool opportunity to be a part of a professional show, to learn and grow, jumping in headfirst. I’m excited for Amy’s fiery spirit, and all the music I get to sing all summer long.”
Little Women: The Broadway Musical is showing at Rosebud Theatre this summer from June 7 to August 31, 2024. Matinee performances are offered Wednesday through Saturday, and evening performances are on Friday and Saturday. Dinner & theatre tickets are on sale online at www.rosebudtheatre.com, or by phone 1-800-267-7553.
