The Wolverine Theatre Company, the Theatre Department of Wellington Community High School, is proud to present the musical Little Women Feb. 23 and 24 at 7 pm; and Saturday, Feb. 25 at 3 pm and 7 pm. in its auditorium at 2101 Greenview Shores Blvd.
Based on the Civil War Era novel by Louisa May Alcott, Little Women is an important tale of feminism, sisterhood and "letting go" amid Jason Howland's plush score and Mindi Dickstein and Allan Knee's smart lyrics and book. The original Broadway production featured Sutton Foster as rebel sister Jo March, an aspiring writer, whose characters burst to life in unison with Jo and her sisters, Meg, Beth and Amy.
In Wellington High's production, the roles of the March sisters are double cast. One group of actors perform Thursday and Saturday nights; another group performs at the Friday evening and Saturday matinee shows. "I loathe double casting, but I had no choice," said Theatre Director Mark Andrew Fetterly. "The amount of talent was just too great. For a lot of these actors, it's senior year. Many of them lost a spring musical or two to Covid."
"They deserve this chance, and they also deserve material that challenges them," stated Fetterly, who noted that 2022's musical, Mamma Mia!, was "great fun," but he wanted his students to explore characters with deeper journeys and richer music. "The irony is that both musicals have bright songs called Take a Chance on Me," noted Fetterly.
Ticket prices are $10 for students and $18 for adults. Thursday, Feb. 23 is Student Night, where all students pay $8.
