Music reviews of Little Women The Musical (2005 Original Broadway Cast)
Music Review: NOT GOOD AT ALL
Rating: 1 Stars
The presence of Maureen McGovern is not enough to take you out of deep sleep after listening to this dissapointing musical adaptation for the literary classic. The songs are too sweet to my taste, even to the point of being corny. The story line seemed to me quite pedestrian and boring and the characters never seem to take flight anywhere. Out of the musicals coming out lately, I would say this is one of the weakest and most boring ones of the present decade. Save your money and get SIDESHOW, NEXT TO NORMAL or THE MAN FROM OZ instead, three excellent choices from this decade.
Description of Little Women The Musical (2005 Original Broadway Cast)
Louisa May Alcott's novel Little Women concerns four sisters in post-?Civil War Massachusetts, but at times it feels as if its musical adaptation should have been called "Little Woman," so focused on a single sibling it is. Both Allan Knee's book and Sutton Foster's natural charisma and energy help constantly train the spotlight onto tomboy Jo. Yet it's not that much of a problem because Foster is strong enough to carry the show. She gets excellent support from the rest of the cast and especially cabaret artist Maureen McGovern, who as Marmee gets two beautiful ballads ("Here Alone" and "Days of Plenty") that are tailor-made for her imperial, burnished tone, and could well acquire a life outside the show. Composer Jason Howland worked as either musical director or musical supervisor on three period-set Frank Wildhorn musicals (Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel and The Civil War), which gives him a distinct experience in dealing with the historical setting here. Although the score oftentimes veers to the bland side, Howland also shows encouraging signs of spryness ("Five Forever") and melodic confidence that at one point slyly honors Sondheim ("Astonishing"). Old-fashioned in the best possible way, Little Women makes a good complement to Wicked for those trying to entice a younger audience to the delights of the musical theater. --Elisabeth VincentelliGeneral CDs
