Based on Louisa May Alcott’s classic, and her life, this Civil War story of love and family stands the test of time. The adventures of the four March sisters are brought to vivid musical life in Little Women. The Civil War is in full swing, and the March sisters — Meg, the oldest, a romantic, the spirited and tomboyish Jo, sweet and loving Beth, and irascible, playful Amy — live in Concord with their Marmee while their father is on the battlefield.
