The musical will get its world premiere in the West End in 2025.
It has been announced that Jo – The Little Women musical, based on Louisa May Alcott’s coming-of-age novel will head to London next year.
Ahead of the West End concert, a concept album featuring Broadway, West End and international stars including Christine Allado, Chris Mann, Sophie Pollono and a 29-piece orchestra, will be recorded in January at London’s iconic Abbey Road Studios.
The recording session will then be followed by the release of several tracks and videos, as well as the album.
While the date of the concert and the theatre it will be staged in have yet to be announced, it is set to be directed by JoAnn M. Hunter (Bad Cinderella and School of Rock).
Jo – The Little Women Musical focuses on the pivotal character of Jo March, a young woman trying to become a renowned writer. Faced with the overwhelming grief of losing her sister Beth, Jo’s sorrow becomes the catalyst for her writing the story of her sisters, transforming her pain into purpose. The musical features music by Dan Redfeld, book and lyrics by Christina Harding and John Gabriel Koladziej.
Christina Harding and John Gabriel Koladziej said: “Assembling such a talented group of performers to bring our material to life is truly thrilling. We are excited to share our new interpretation of Louisa May Alcott’s timeless classic with a multi-generational audience.”
