Review by Connecticut Critics Circle Member Nancy Sasso Janis
Castle Craig Players is performing a heartwarming production of “Little Women The Musical” on their stage in Meriden through Aug. 10. The fabulous cast is under the direction of Ian Galligan, with choreography designed by Brandon D. Gregoire in his choreographic debut. CCP co-founder Melanie Del Sole served as the show’s producer.
The musical version of the Louisa May Alcott novel includes a book by Allan Knee, charming music by Jason Howland and lyrics by Mindi Dickstein. The classic tale of the March sisters is set in Concord, MA and New York City, from Christmas 1863 through the spring of 1867.

Hazel Foley, a rising theater senior at Temple University, completely embodies the role of the determined Jo March with a crystal clear singing voice. Her performance is a joy to watch in every way.
