Don’t miss this beautiful new adaptation at Blackpool Grand Theatre this March

The star-studded cast of LITTLE WOMEN are now deep in rehearsals for a heartwarming new production of Louisa May Alcott’s classic tale of sisterhood, courage and ambition that will parade into Blackpool Grand Theatre from Tuesday 25 March to Saturday 29 March.

This captivating new adaptation will breathe beautiful new life into Louisa May Alcott’s much-loved coming-of-age novel of four sisters in 1800s America as they race towards adulthood, and the many challenges they all face along the way.

Top TV favourites Belinda Lang (2point4 Children, Sister Boniface Mysteries), Honeysuckle Weeks (Foyles War, Calendar Girls the Musical), Jack Ashton (Call the Midwife, The Archers) and Grace Molony (Country Girls, The Great) will top the bill in this thrilling co-production from The Grand Theatre alongside renowned filmmaker and producer Lee Dean and top West End producer Daniel Schumann.

Renowned theatre actors Cillian Lenaghan (The Woman in the Wall); Jade Kennedy (Rebus: A Game Called Malice); Catherine Chalk (Hilma) and Imogen Elliott (Grantchester) complete the talented cast who are busy creating theatrical magic for this brand new production which has been adapted for the stage by Anne Marie Casey.

Step into the fascinating world of Little Women and meet the magnificent March sisters – tomboy Jo who dreams of becoming a writer, beautiful tutor Meg, sensitive and sweet Beth, and spoilt artistic Amy – as they navigate the trials and tribulations of the Civil War era while forging unbreakable bonds of love and family. This beautiful new adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic tale is a celebration of women and is filled with laugher, tears and a theatrical, heartwarming lifting of the spirits.

Inspired by author Louisa May Alcott’s own journey into womanhood, Little Women is as relevant today as it was at the time of its first release, proving that women can be bold, persistent, self-assured, and the heroes of their own story.

Lee has presented more than 100 theatre productions worldwide, winning 38 major awards.
