LCT Review of LITTLE WOMEN

LCT_VThis review has been reposted courtesy of the League of Cincinnati Theatres. For more LCT reviews click here to visit their reviews page.

Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s “Little Women” is a fine production of a beloved classic story, staged and performed in a way that preserves and honors the novel. The show should please everyone who has fond memories of reading it as a child.

“Little Women,” written in 1868 by Louisa May Alcott, is the story of the March family of New England during and just after the Civil War. The ‘little women’ are the family’s four daughters – Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. When the play opens, Mr. March is serving as a chaplain in the Union Army. Mrs. March and teenage daughters are keeping a poor but loving home.

Marmee, and Caitlin McWethy as Beth. By Mikki Schaffner Photography.

The script, so faithful to the novel that it lifts actual lines of dialogue, spans several years to follow the sisters through spats, love interests, marriages, illness, and even death.

The backbone of the family is Mrs. March (we never do see Mr. March). She is wonderfully played by Annie Fitzpatrick, who evokes the character’s calm dignity, quiet resolve, and compassion. Fitzpatrick does get some emotional scenes, though – the finest when she learns her at-war husband is ill and she must go to him.

Dominant of the sisters is the tomboy Jo, who has no use for airs and pretension. Maggie Lou Rader is terrific in the part, displaying a fiery energy and a “what you see is what you get” temperament – all her emotions are on display. Rader developed a perfect signature gesture for Jo of flouncing into a chair sideways, arm flung over the back.

The role of the youngest, Amy, is possibly the most difficult. Actress Courtney Lucien has to evolve from a prissy preteen with ringlets in Act 1 to a beautiful young woman in Act 2, while still keeping some of her self-centered traits. Lucien brings the audience right along with her.

There is great supporting work from the rest of the cast. Notable is Abby Roward as Aunt March. Believable makeup and a great physical acting job turn Roward into this elderly woman with a sharp tongue, but the ability of wealth to make a difference in the March sisters’ lives.

Director Sara Clark keeps the acting focused and the pacing tight through a show that spans several years and multiple locations.

The multifunctional set has the ability to serve many locales but still keep certain areas fixed in the audience’s mind – the attic where Jo writes, the bedroom where Beth dies, and the family living room where all gather. There is good use of projected images to let us watch the passing of the seasons out a window and images of dancers at a ball to create the illusion of more people on stage.

Cincinnati Shakespeare’s production is an excellent adaption of “Little Women,” both for those who love the work and those seeing it for the first time.

The show continues weekends through March 21. Call 513-381-2273 or visit www.cincyshakes.com.

LITTLE WOMEN presented by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company through March 21. Click here for more information on the production. I attended the opening night performance.

A cold February night brings the March Family to the stage at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company. Director Sara Clark has assembled a talented and strong ensemble to bring these characters to life.

When some of the cast were playing the younger versions of their characters, I felt they pushed a bit too hard and the performances didn’t come off as honest. The characterizations did grow stronger as the play progressed. For me, the family became cohesive with the news of their father’s illness.

Maggie Lou Rader was engaging as strong-willed Jo. I enjoyed Caitlin McWethy’s Beth, who was the only one who could calm Jo’s forthrightness. I would have liked to have seen some physical or verbal reaction by Jo at the end of the scene where Jo is reading to Beth in the bedroom.

Justin McCombs as Laurie & Courtney Lucien as Amy. By Mikki Schaffner Photography.

The pigtails and fingers-on-chalkboard voice of young Amy nicely transformed into a worldly and educated young woman as played by Courtney Lucien. I thought the deepening of Amy and Laurie’s relationship come together naturally. Also well-handled was the change this caused in Jo and Laurie’s (Justin McCombs) relationship.

Nicholas Rose as Professor Bhaer & Maggie Lou Rader as Jo. By Mikki Schaffner Photography

I thoroughly enjoyed Nicholas Rose as Professor Bhaer. His performance was charming, sweet and I found it quite easy to see the attraction between Bhaer and Jo. Abby Rowold is convincingly old and bitter aged-up into the role of Aunt March. I was confused by the gender-bending casting of Frank Delaney as Aunt Carol. For me, it was more distracting than a strong comic element.

Miranda McGee as Sallie Gardiner & Kelly Mengelkoch as Meg. By Mikki Schaffner Photography.

Speaking of distracting, I had the same reaction to the technological additions (flat screen windows and projections) to the show. The concept is interesting, but perhaps better used on a more contemporary script. For me, the digital special effects intruded on the simplicity of the time period.

Small complaints aside, this is a heartfelt and entertaining version of the literary classic.

My rating: 4.25 out of 5

I would enjoy hearing what you think about the show or my review. All I ask is that you express your opinion without attacking someone else’s opinion. You can post your comments below.

With their dedicated slate of actors, CSC is able to present such epic feats as the continuation of their multi-year history cycle in “Henry VI: Part I” which features key Ensemble Members reprising their roles through these histories over several years.

The complete 2015-2016 Season line-up is as follows:

The Complete History of America (Abridged)*
by Adam Long, Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor
July 24- August 15, 2015

Get ready for a wacky wild ride through our nation’s timeline! The brilliant (and deranged) minds that reduced all of 38 of Shakespeare’s plays into one madcap evening of theater do it again, this time reducing centuries of American history! In “The Complete History of America (abridged)” watch as three actors, who may or may not have passed their high school History class, take you on a whirlwind historical tour sending up many of our nation’s greatest hits and misses. Audiences raved about the hilarious “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)” and are sure to rave again as we lovingly lampoon the land of liberty.
*This is a Special Event. Not included in the subscription package.

Cyrano de Bergerac
Based on the translation written by Anthony Burgess of the play written by Edmond Rostand
September 11- October 3, 2015

Cyrano is a man of panache- a dazzling swordsman and a brilliant poet with a wit as quick as his blade. When he falls in love with the beautiful and brilliant Roxane, there is only one thing that stands between them- his gargantuan nose. When Roxane unknowingly confides in Cyrano that she is smitten with the handsome, but dimwitted solider Christian, Cyrano cannot resist the opportunity to finally speak his heart — through letters and verses signed under Christian’s name. His words have Roxanne swooning, but who is it that she truly loves and how long can Cyrano remain in the shadows? The witty wordplay of Wilde, the swashbuckling swagger of The Three Musketeers, and the unrivaled romanticism of Romeo & Juliet are all right under your nose in “Cyrano de Bergerac”.

Death of a Salesman
by Arthur Miller
October 16- November 7, 2015

Arthur Miller’s award-winning American classic, “Death of a Salesman” tells the poignant story of a salesman and his quest to make it big. In the land of the free, every man controls his own destiny and the right to try and achieve the elusive American Dream. But as his days grow shorter and the times tougher, can Willy Loman achieve this long cherished dream for his family? Recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, multiple Tony Awards, and deemed one of the greatest plays of the Twentieth Century, Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” is an exploration of failure and success this still resonates today.

As You Like It
by William Shakespeare
November 20- December 12, 2015

Banished to the Forest of Arden with only her cousin and a fool for company, the clever Rosalind dresses as a man for protection. Once in the woods, she is shocked to discover the trees are covered with love poems written to her! She is further shocked when she discovers that their author is none other than the handsome Orlando, who recently captured her heart. Hiding behind her boyish disguise, she puts Orlando’s love for her to the test, while juggling the affairs of courtiers and country bumpkins alike. Featuring a hilarious cast of characters, delightful music, and warm-hearted romance, “As You Like It” is the perfect choice for a cold winter’s night.

Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)*
by Michael Carlton, James Fitzgerald and John K Alvarez
December 16-27, 2015

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, CSC’s holiday smash hit “Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)” is back! What begins as another annual production of A Christmas Carol, soon devolves into a slightly irreverent look at all of our favorite “Beloved Holiday Classics” including It’s a Wonderful Life, Frosty, Rudolph, Charlie Brown and more! Three actors (with the help of Santa) send up everything from Dickens to Dr. Seuss in 90 minutes of high octane jollity and frivolity. This show is not recommended for anyone young enough to still believe in Santa.
*This is a Special Event. Not included in the Subscription Package.

Henry VI
By William Shakespeare
January 22- February 13, 2016

Shakespeare’s Game of Thrones continues with this first installment of the “Henry VI” trilogy. King Henry V, one of England’s most beloved monarchs, brought unity and peace to his fractious country and victory over the rival nation of France. But when Henry’s untimely death leaves his infant son to inherit the crown, the country falls back into chaos as rival families of York and Lancaster seek to seize the throne for themselves. Featuring some of history’s most controversial characters, including Joan of Arc, this first installment in the epic War of the Roses trilogy sets the stage for the exciting conclusion soon to come.

Emma
By Jon Jory
February 26- March 26, 2016

Jane Austen’s sparkling wit returns to CSC’s stage! Amateur matchmaker Emma Wodehouse has a penchant for meddling in the love lives of others. Her latest mission is to find a promising prospect for her less than promising friend Harriet. But when her efforts to play cupid go awry, Emma finds herself struggling to undo the damage. Audiences that clamored for CSC’s productions of “Pride and Prejudice” and “Sense and Sensibility” surely will again when Austen’s trademark storytelling returns to the stage in “Emma”.

Julius Caesar
by William Shakespeare
April 8- May 7, 2016

Julius Caesar is brilliant general, a cunning politician, and the most beloved leader Rome has ever known; but when his ambition threatens to topple the Republic, a small conspiracy of Roman patriots take matters into their own hands. When they assassinate the beloved Caesar on the senate floor, their actions plunge the Republic into a civil war that will test friendships, try loyalties, and determine the fate of an empire. Presented in full Roman regalia and flair, Shakespeare’s breathless political thriller “Julius Caesar” returns to the CSC stage as the first installment of a special two part theatrical event with “Antony and Cleopatra”.

Antony and Cleopatra
By William Shakespeare
May 13- June 4, 2016

Part two of CSC’s special theatrical event, “Antony and Cleopatra” is the rarely-staged epic sequel to “Julius Caesar”. The victors of Rome’s civil war have divided the Empire amongst themselves, and Marc Antony has traveled to exotic Egypt to take up rule over his corner of the globe. There he encounters Egypt’s mysterious monarch, the irresistibly entrancing Cleopatra. Their impassioned love affair ultimately pits their two countries against each other and will change the face of the ancient world forever.
