Repertory Philippines Holds Auditions for LITTLE WOMEN, 3/27 & 4/10

Repertory Philippines' year-end production is the Broadway musical "Little Women," based on Louisa May Alcott's 1867 semi-biographical novel of the same title. "Little Women," the musical, features music by Jason Howland, lyrics by Mindi Dickstein and book by Allan Knee. 

The musical follows the life story of the March family: sisters Jo, Meg, Amy, Beth and mother Marmee. When the family patriarch had to serve in the army during the Civil War, the girls are left alone with their loving mother.

5.  Beth (female; soprano/belt; 16 to late 20's) - The second youngest of the March sisters. She is the peacemaker in the family.

6.  Marmee (female; alto; 40's) - The strong mother.

7.  Mr. John Brook (male; baritone; 20 to early 30's)- Laurie's exceptionally bright tutor.

8.  Mr. Laurence (male; character singing; 50 to 60)- Laurie's well off grandfather.
