World Premiere of West End's LITTLE WOMEN to Stream Exclusively on BroadwayHD

BroadwayHD announced today that they will be bringing Little Women to their platform for its exclusive worldwide debut on April 21.

Little Women follows the adventures of the four March sisters - Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy. Jo, the second eldest of the March daughters and an aspiring writer, receives yet another rejection from a publisher. Her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells Jo she can do better by making her stories more personal. Begrudgingly, Jo weaves the story of how she and her sisters grew up in Civil War America - a tale of self-discovery, heartache, hope, and everlasting love.

Little Women's book was written by stage and screenwriter Allan Knee (Finding Neverland, The Astonishing Times of Timothy Cratchit), music by Grammy Award-winner Jason Howland (The Lonesome West, Handel's Messiah), and lyrics by Mindi Dickstein (Benny and Joon, Toy Story - The Musical). The musical was directed by Bronagh Lagan with set and costume design by Nik Corrall, musical direction by Leo Munby, orchestrations by Andy Collyer, choreography by Sarah Golding, lighting design by Ben M. Rogers, sound design by Paul Gavin and casting by Jane Deitch. The musical was filmed live by Katy Lipson for Aria Entertainment at Park Theatre in the West End. It was executive produced by Bonnie Comley, Stewart F. Lane and Gio Messale for BroadwayHD.
