RadioTV2 @ "Little Women"

Well, I saw it on Saturday night, and haven't been able to post about it since, but here it goes. I was excited about this show, and having seen it, I am still happy, but my expectations were not met. Sutton was amazing, that was lived up to, her "Astonishing" and "Operatic Tragedies" were wonderful. Maureen McGovern was out, but the part was so small, it really didn't matter, although her understudy was terriffic! All of the sisters were great, especially Beth. The men were fine. The sets were incredible, and the costumes were very nice. The lighting was also really good. The first act should be shortened by at least fifteen minutes, because it lagged on waaaay too much. The second act was fine in terms of time. The running time was 2 hours and 4 minutes including intermission. I would recommend this show to a fan of the book, as it stays true to its original source. The book was very strong and could definitely take the Tony, the score I found enjoyable, but repetitive, and asides from "Astonishing" and "Take a Chance on Me", the score was fairly forgettable. Well, thats my take. I do hope this show does well, and I will definitely see it again once it opens to see if they have made appropriate changes. Three Cheers for Professor Bhaer! Hip Hip Hooray!

I give "Little Women" three out of four stars.

The show's around 2 hrs 45 mins.

I also saw Little Women during their previews. Maureen McGovern was not there when i saw it too(both times). THe music I must say is ASTONISHING. But i tottaly dissagree on the book. The acting of the cast as a whole wasnt that great, but the rest of the elements of the show made up for it. And Sutton....God!......AMAZING!! I smell a Tony.

I don't see how you think the Book could win the TONY.

The Book I felt was, along with the lyrics, the weakest point in an overall weak show.

Very uneven, choppy and cliche.

---

I adored that song, Spider. It was wonderful and powerful and Megan McGinnis was a marvel.

But it was the only great song in the show.

---

They just really need to tighten it up and work on it in previews or the critics will tear it apart as it is right now.

---

I'm really happy you enjoyed it. They're all really talented (except I don't really like Danny Gurwin but other than him...)

---

McGinnis was such a sweetheart. I just wanted to give her a huge hug (That is probably why I cried so hard during "Somethings Are Meant to Be"). Maureen McGovern and McGinnis were my favorites. I went in anticipating Sutton but she really didn't impress me that much. Oh well!! Maybe next time, kiddo!

OH YEAH!!! Grrrrrrrowl

---

There was a lot of cutting. The show runs about 2 45 with intermission
