Congrats to the cast of LITTLE WOMEN on a lovely review from Tom Titus.
Come join us this weekend to see the show!

Musical versions of time-honored classic novels such as "Les Miserables" and "The Phantom of the Opera" have enjoyed overwhelming success on the Broadway stage. Now comes a tuned-up rendition of Louisa May Alcott's 1868 novel "Little Women," currently occupying the stage of the Costa Mesa Playhouse.

LITTLE WOMEN: The Broadway Musical continues this Friday, performing through June 28th, at Costa Mesa Playhouse.

Here’s what people have been saying about LITTLE WOMEN;

Director Aurora Culver has done it again with another magically wonderful production of Little Women . The production is what I love about community theatre , the production and venue are nice , but the characters dominant the show . A talented cast with outstanding singing , a splash of dancing and of course the acting . I can feel Anna Mazie's soul when she sings . Maggie , Lauren , and Deva all showed nice range , energy and vocals with their characters . Hans , Stephanie , Jim , and Emily all gave seasoned performances . Outstanding work by Joey , I wish I could sing like that . My guy Matt Acuña inspires me to do a musical and he always plays a great sinister yet funny bad guy . I tip my hat to Josefine Udklit Damgård , Jared and all the rest of the crew . Nothing makes you feel more alive than being apart of a live performance , so go see the show and LIVE .

Costa Mesa Playhouse "Little Women" last night was very enjoyable. Well acted, well directed, good music direction; what more can you ask? The voices blended beautifully, the sisters were simply sisters who loved and fought and grew up together regardless of changes. Although it is usually always thought of in sports, good teamwork makes the whole thing shine and this show has that.

I really enjoyed seeing Little Women last night. There were all ranges of emotions represented causing tears and laughter from the audience. True theatre that makes you feel something. Such a strong group of singers and a real family of actors. It's a small intimate theatre that makes you feel like you are right in the March sisters home. I highly recommend you go see it. Also Lauren Oseas did the most Amazing Job playing the youngest sister Amy! 😊
