It was a wonderful mesh of reality and fiction. The cast does an amazing job depicting each character they portray and not once do they stop having fun on stage. Humorous and endearing. ...

I loved this show. You can tell a lot of time, thought, energy and love went into it. It was creative, inventive, fun and occasionally heart-breaking. And you don't need to be a Little Women fan to enjoy this show. I went in remembering next to nothing about the book, and I enjoyed the show immensely. ...

Must See
Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy & Louisa is a feast for anyone who loves Louisa May Alcott.--but it's not just for Alcott fans. I think there are many things to love in this show for anyone who attends. I am still thinking about this fascinating and original show and wondering at the beautifully seamless combination of storytelling about one of my favorite author's lives with a contemporary and comedic twist. It's a wonderful evening of theatre for anyone who wants to see originality, comedy, story, and a group of actors who love what they are doing. Their pure joy was completely contagious.

Incredibly talented cast that upholds a really beautifully written, choreographed love story to Little Women and Louisa May Alcott. If you loved Little Women, I cannot recommend this show enough. I laughed! I cried, of course, and my heart ached for a queer woman stuck in the wrong time period — I related far too much. You could TELL the cast love what they're doing, believe in the story. ...

Louisa May Alcott is an American literary treasure, and I’m sure she would have loved this interpretation of her book, which is told from the POV of Alcott as she wrote the stories. Tier5 has created a masterpiece of theater that should appeal to just about every living, breathing human, and director Ariel Francoeur captures every nuance of the story, giving his amazing cast everything they need to bring it to life. ...

A thoroughly modern, wildly engaging, and experimentally staged story of how Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women, and why it still affects us today. ...
