National Diploma Musical Theatre students have come together to perform the world-renowned musical, Little Women

Based on Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, this beloved story of the March sisters is timeless and deals with issues as relevant today as when they were written. This wonderful narrative has been brought to life as an exhilarating new musical filled with glorious music, dancing and heart. The powerful score soars with the sounds of personal discovery, heartache and hope – the sounds of a young America finding its voice.

This classic tale follows the four sisters’ progress into young womanhood with the additional strains of romance, Beth’s terminal illness, the pressures of marriage and the outside world. This is the story of their growing maturity and wisdom and the search for the contentedness of family life. It was written in 1867 and is a fictionalised biography of Alcott and her sisters.

Performances will be taking place on 22^nd – 26^th June in The Gordon Vallins Studio located on the college’s campus. Tickets are priced at £8 (£5 concessions) and are available by calling the box office on 01789 266245 or email alexdengate@stratford.ac.uk|. Seating is limited.
