Little Women
Leeds Grand Theatre
What a lovely night!
I’m a huge musical theatre fan, but it was nice to see something a bit different. There were little moments of song in this production, which were beautifully done.

From start to finish it’s hilarious, saucy, energetic and INSANE….LY good. And also just insane.

A beautifully staged, thought-provoking and moving production. The harsh realities conveyed were sometimes difficult to watch, but themes of love, friendship and resilience shone through.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from an ‘amateur’ production of my favourite show. It was far from amateur. It was fabulous. I laughed and cried in all the places I was supposed to.
