A Little Princess will be adapted for the cabaret stage by Lippa (music) and Crawley (lyrics and book). Moises Kauffman (The Heiress, 33 Variations) directs, Joel Fram (Wicked in London, I am Harvey Milk) serves as Music Director and the concert is being produced by Tony Award® winning and Grammy® nominated Broadway producer Van Dean, co-founder at Broadway Records.

A Little Princess is the classic story of a beleaguered young girl with an unbridled imagination and is based on the beloved Frances Hodgson Burnett novel. A cast recording featuring Sierra Boggess as Sara, Julia Murney, Will Chase and Remy Zaken was released in 2010 by Ghostlight Records.
