Lugubrious charmless, Confusing, Disappointing

See it if you like the book, enjoy literary adaptations for the stage, enjoy actors in multiple roles/playing much younger & a strong woman focus

Don't see it if not a Alcott fan, expect more warmth & sentiment between the characters, don't enjoy non-traditional casting, overemphasis on Jo

Semi-comedic, Overrated, Disappointing

See it if If you found the movie and tv versions to be disappointing and want new takes on the principal characters

Don't see it if You don’t want to see broad, almost campy humor injected into this classic.

Entertaining, Ambitious

See it if You are a huge fan of Alcott and open to seeing quirky adaptation of her novel. See it if you liked Hamill’s other plays.

Don't see it if You don’t like rushed portrayals of difficult themes, if you’re a purist, if you’re bent on seeing Jo by the book
