This week we chat with Paige McKay about which of life's truths can be gleaned from woman-led classic - Little Women!The Village Voice reviewer noted "The show itself, similarly, seems lost in the drafty hugeness of the Virginia, where the often charming family scenes are dwarfed by the high proscenium arch (emphasized by the metal scaffolding that frames Derek McLane's otherwise attractive settings). The pity of it is that, between seizures, so much of Little Women's reality has been established. Allan Knee's script offers long passages of astutely condensed Alcott; Jason Howland's pleasant music, inventively orchestrated by Kim Scharnberg, pulls contemporary shapes out of period waltzes, polkas, and quadrilles, bumpily but gamely supported by Mindi Dickstein's uneven lyrics. And the cast, as always, offers many potential rescuers."- FURTHER READING -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Women_(musical)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobiographical_novelhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Women_(2019_film)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Women_(1994_film)https://www.mtishows.com/little-womenhttps://stageagent.com/shows/musical/1153/little-womenhttps://www.guidetomusicaltheatre.com/shows_l/littlewomen.htmlhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt3281548/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110367/fullcreditshttps://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/little-women/id1489251504https://open.spotify.com/album/1ZOWm21TS4MWUwvEAI7yobLike us on Facebook!

Michael is currently starring in The Astonishing Times of Timothy Cratchit, a new musical at Hope Mill Theatre, with book by Allan Knee and music and lyrics by Andre Catrini. About The Astonishing Times Of Timothy Cratchit:  The Astonishing Times Of Timothy Cratchit tells the tale of a young man who sets out to find his place in an expanding and volatile world. Inspired by the characters of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, the story follows the plight of young Tim from the home of his benefactor, Ebenezer Scrooge, to the theatrical madness of the great comic, Giuseppe Grimaldi.

Hosts Briana Phipps, Jacque Borowski, Mark J Freeman, Kenny Harrison and Ally Nasta discuss the theatre show of Finding Neverland.
