“Little Women has been a story near and dear to my heart ever since I was a little girl, wearing out our family’s VHS copy of the 1949 film starring June Allyson and Elizabeth Taylor,” said Director Malaika Quarterman. “Now, getting the chance to direct this musical at New Stage is a profoundly meaningful full-circle moment—one that I am honored to share with my mother, my sister, and most importantly, my own daughters. This timeless tale of hope, loss, and love speaks to the dreamer in all of us. Whether you’ve cherished the novel and its many adaptations or are experiencing it for the first time, this production is filled with heart, grit, and the inspiration to follow your dreams. We invite you to join us for a night of storytelling that will move, uplift, and remind us of the power of family and perseverance.”
New Stage Theatre Artistic Director Francine Reynolds said, “I am so excited that we are producing this popular Broadway musical this season. Little Women is a high-energy show filled with emotion and charm. The music is beautiful and the company we have assembled to sing it is fantastic. I cannot wait for our audiences to experience this timeless American classic.”
