LOS ANGELES, CA: Little Women Ballet Premieres Full-Length Original Ballet
Company:
Little Women Ballet
On the heels of the winter site-specific immersive experience — the last of the Trilogy — at Heritage Square Museum with five performances taking place over the weekend of November 22-24, 2024, Little Women Ballet premieres a full-length original ballet with two performances at the historic Wilshire Ebell Theatre on December 7, 2024, at 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Fans of the beloved Little Women coming-of-age novel written by Louisa May Alcott will be enthralled with this two-act classical ballet showcasing the coming-of-age journeys of sisters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy as they navigate the challenges of an ever-changing world marked by war, poverty, love, and loss. As they learn to embrace their artistic gifts and share them with the world as a source of comfort, their stories unfold.
With a prominent large-scale cast of over 35 dancers between the ages of 10 to 75, dance scenes will include Sallie Gardiner’s Christmas party, Meg’s wedding, an enchanting Moulin Rouge number, and a stunning Christmas finale. In addition, key literary moments captured through dance are Jo rejecting Laurie, the Pickwick Club, and Beth's passing. A heartwarming tale of family, friendship, self-discovery, and growing up, Little Women is sure to resonate with audiences of all ages.
Little Women Ballet seeks to pioneer more ballets about women and their stories, while pairing heartwarming life lessons with progressive ideas about women’s roles in 19th century America. In partnership with ArtistsPlus Productions and The Ebell of Los Angeles, tickets range from $28-$40. The Wilshire Ebell Theatre is located at 4401 W. 8th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90005.
