Little Women is Closing on Broadway

The Broadway run of Little Women is coming to a close. The show's last performance will be THIS coming Sunday, May 22 at 2pm at the Virginia Theatre. Sutton Foster, who plays "Jo March," was nominated for the only Little Women-related Tony Award, but three websites currently have it nominated among their listings for site-wide awards.

In an e-mail from "Blogger Tom," the musical's official blogger and part of the musical's webteam, he says:

"To honor the memory of LITTLE WOMEN, we encourage you to VOTE for the show in the numerous on-line contests! Broadway.com has us in 7 of their categories, Playbill.com has one tied in with VISA, and BroadwayWorld.com lists every possible nominee in each category- plus it shows you live results as well. What better way to show your support than by voting for this special show?"

Sounds good to me! I'm also working on creating a poll with Little Women among the nominees, and I'll further update when that is available!In the meantime, don't be too discouraged. The family-friendly musical will begin touring nationwide this summer! The 30-city nationwide tour is supposed to begin in August, in San Diego. Maureen McGovern, who created the role of Marmee on Broadway, will continue the role during this tour.

No matter what, Little Women will live on forever. I will share more information as I learn it.
