There's only so much talent can do.
Talent abounds in Tacoma Musical Playhouse's production of Little Women. Singing talent in particular.
But, well, if there were ever a novel that didn't need to be made into a musical, this would be up there on my list.
I'm not a Little Women aficionado, but it seems safe to assume Louisa May Alcott's novel deals largely in a portrayal of the relationships and character of the four sisters, as demonstrated by a series of events throughout the course of their young lives.
