About The Show...
Little Women: The Musical will be an audition only production. All perspective participants must turn in a virtual audition by the audition day. All perspective participants must pay the deposit to enroll and then will be charged the remainder upon notification of being cast into the production. If the participant is not cast into the production all payments will be refunded to the card on file.
Produced nationally and internationally, Little Women has been praised by critics for its ambition in adapting such a well-known story for the stage. This timeless, captivating story is brought to life in this glorious musical filled with personal discovery, heartache, hope and everlasting love. The original production starred the unparalleled Sutton Foster, who received Tony, Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk nominations for her performance.
Based on Louisa May Alcott's life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America. Little Women embodies the complete theatrical experience, guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears and a lifting of the spirit. - MTI Shows

Song Choice: Prepare approximately 30-60 seconds of a musical theatre song that you think represents you well. (Your song may be from before 1967) When choosing your song consider the style of Little Women – please feel free to do some research on your own/see the link at the bottom of the character list and here are some simple thoughts as well. The music, composed by Jason Howland, falls within the Golden Age-inspired contemporary musical theater style—meaning it has lush, sweeping melodies, emotional ballads, and some lively, character-driven songs Monologue Guidelines : Dramatic, approx 1 minute in length (No Shakespeare, No Comedy) Audition Resources
