LITTLE WOMEN, THE MUSICAL, Produced by The Growing Stage, Ltd.,Directed by Matthew Naegeli
Last Sunday I had the pleasure of seeing a really terrific show. I am new here in Albuquerque and this is the first musical I had set out to see since my arrival in town. From the moment the delightful orchestra struck its first notes (conduced by Brady Gear) I sat transfixed. The performers were as good as anything I have seen in any Equity house in Los Angeles or New York. Beautifully trained singers and actors, all. The direction by the talented Matthew Naegeli was flawless.
.
At first I was a little distracted by the orchestra as it is in the rear of the stage, but the fine work of these performers soon took over and the distraction faded away. The musical sticks to the Louisa May Alcott classic and warms your heart as that timeless story unfolds and harkens you back to those sweet, innocent times in America’s history.
Performances continue Fri and Sat at 7:00pm, Sunday at 2:00pm. Oct 19, 20, 21 and Oct 26, 27, and 28th
