Little Women (Gallery Players)

See it if you enjoy summer stock (few of actors are Equity). Some gr voices. I like no-miking; gd musicians. Jo is very gd. LW script is lacking.

Don't see it if you want gr lyrics. Brway show (w Sutton F!) lasted 4 mos. But GP makes the most of sentimental LW. Weakest perf=Marmee. Well-staged. Fun!

See it if Stafford's Jo & Boyaggi's Marmee keep this musicalization of Alcott's classic involving w/Gelles' brisk, competent staging on expansive set

Don't see it if Unfortunately, the music & lyrics are mediocre at best Too many lame songs lengthen & ultimately undermine this period tale of "girl power"

See it if you like good community theater-cast pours themselves into a demanding production, singing, acting & resetting the stage in great costumes.

Don't see it if you're bothered by not hearing it all: sometimes music downs voices and speaking and singing away from audience is lost as there are no mics

See it if You love the story of Little Women. You want to support a wonderful, inclusive, community theatre. You want a very talented musical cast.

Don't see it if You want varied, interesting music that moves the characters & story along. Everything's on 1 bland level & merely repeats what's already...

Also been said in the text.

See it if you enjoy classic stories of female empowerment, or characters who defy norms. This is a very fine staging with heartfelt performances.

Don't see it if you’re turned off by sentimentality or prefer more contemporary settings.

See it if you want to see a surprisingly talented cast in a tiny Brooklyn venue. Thoroughly enjoyable. Not Broadway or even close, but a great show!

Don't see it if you don't like Brooklyn or small venues.

See it if you'd like a classic staging of a beloved story. The costumes alone are worth a visit.

Don't see it if you don't like the story or classic tales with period costumes. Actors are not mic'ed and their voices drowned out sometimes.

Also Gallery Players always puts on excellent productions and this is no exception. The costumes alone are worth the visit!... Read more Read less

See it if Gallery Players did a great job with this show. Support Brooklyn theater! It's a great story and they performed it well.

Also Cast was very diverse and excellent with perfect voices for each character. How they design such sets and use such costumes on a small stage is amazing. Wish some Broadway shows had this much heart.... Read more Read less

See it if You love Louisa May Alcott's classic novel and enjoy great singing.

Don't see it if You're indifferent to the original novel and musicals are not your thing.

Also I really enjoyed this musical. I read the novel as a teenager and have seen various film iterations of it over the years. I had not seen the musical though, and I was very pleased with the adaptation, lyrics, music and very entertaining and beautiful performances from the cast of 17 actors.

The one point I wish to make to the Gallery Players production team is that I would have appreciated if the very talented orchestra, conducted by Meng-Mei Kuo, would have been in the open corner area and thus be fully viewable to the audience. They are an integral and very important part of the musical and, in my opinion, should be celebrated as such.

In the least, it would have been nice if the orchestra members had come out from hiding off stage and taken a bow along with the actors. Just a suggestion...... Read more Read less
