Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein
Book by Allan Knee
Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott

Directed by Alexandra Dietrich

Based on Louisa May Alcott's life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America.

All shows are sold out.

Doors open at 1:40pm for the 2:00pm Matinees and at 7:10pm for the 7:30 evening shows.

Imagine a Dragon

Imagine a Dragon

The dragon is back in town! Well… not really. That’s the story a ragtag band of innkeepers makes up, desperate to draw questing heroes to the struggling Dancing Dragon Inn. Soon the inn is full of unexpected guests, from an army of princesses out to prove their bravery, to a group of overwhelmed heroes trying to hold onto their fame. But what happens if they all discover the innkeepers’ dragon story is made up? Could there be more than one way to save the day? An epic folk-rock score brings magic to this funny, heartfelt fantasy musical.

Something Rotten!

Something Rotten June 21-30, 2024 at MLTlive.org
Book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O'Farrell
Music and Lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick

Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce, Something Rotten.  Created by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick, and successful screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, Something Rotten was lauded by audience members and critics alike, receiving several Best Musical nominations and hailed by Time Out New York as "the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years".

Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder

A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder

"A murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs…" (MTI)

The most-nominated show of the 2014 season, winning Best Musical at the Tony Awards as well as the Drama Desk Awards, the Outer Critics Circle Awards and the Drama League Awards.

Produced by Andrew Barnett Directed by Alexandra Dietrich
Music Direction by David Flowers

Low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he's eighth in line for an earldom and figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And then there’s love, because murder isn't the only thing on Monty's mind….

“Inspired and hilarious. 'A Gentleman's Guide' will lift the hearts of all those who’ve been pining for what sometimes seems a lost art form: musicals that match streams of memorable melody with fizzily witty turns of phrase.” - Charles Isherwood from New York Times

At Marblehead Little Theatre, 12 School Street, Marblehead
