I did the show nearly a decade ago and it was a lot of fun and very well received. The music is beautiful and not at all too much for high schoolers. There's dance required but not large group numbers. Very few male roles. No chorus, so not a great show if you want to get a lot of kids on stage.
The greatest challenges were converting the set to and from the fantasy scenes that appear from Jo's writing and getting the kite to fly.
I highly recommend the show.

Subject: Little women?
I am considering Little Women for my high school and junior high aged program. Does anyone have experience with this show and if so is it fairly well suited for high schoolers? Is there much dancing? A lot of harmonization? Any serious challenges to the show? Thanks for any advice you can give --
