Anne-Marie Casey’s new stage adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s much-loved classic novel, Little Women, comes to Leeds Grand Theatre from Tue 10–Sat 14 June as part of a major UK tour.
Directed by Loveday Ingram and produced by Lee Dean and Daniel Schumann, Little Women stars Belinda Lang (Sister Boniface Mysteries, 2point4 Children) as Aunt March, Honeysuckle Weeks (Foyles War) as Marmee, Jack Ashton (Call the Midwife) as Brooke/Bhaer, Grace Molony (The Great) as Jo, Cillian Lenaghan (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Little Women, Blackout, The LyricTheatre) as Laurie, Jade Kennedy (Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World, UK Tour; Billy Elliot, Victoria Palace) asMeg, Catherine Chalk (The Circle, UK Tour) asBeth and Imogen Elliott (Grantchester) as Amy.
Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women was an immediate critical and commercial success. The book was inspired by Alcott’s experiences growing up and is one of the best-loved novels of all time.
Experience the enduring journey of the March sisters: tomboy Jo, beautiful Meg, sensitive Beth and spoilt Amy, as they as they navigate the challenges of the Civil War era, forging unbreakable bonds of love and family. Step into the world of sisterhood, courage, ambition and follow them as they progress into womanhood.
Still as relevant today, Little Women is a celebration of women proving that women can be heroes of their own story, and can be bold, persistent and self-assured to stand strong in who they are and what they desire for themselves in their present and future.
Anne-Marie Casey’s masterful new adaptation of the classic story offers a captivating rendition of Little Women that breathes new life into a cherished classic. The recent success of the Greta Gerwig film and the nostalgia of the classic book, combined with a beautiful adaptation, provides an exciting theatrical experience guaranteed to be a night (or afternoon!) filled with laughter, tears and a heart-warming lifting of the spirits.
May Alcott’s Little Women is at Leeds Grand Theatre from Tuesday 10 to Saturday 14 June 2025.
