Let us Be Elegant or Die!

This afternoon we joined friends for Louisa May Alcott's classic story come to life in Little Women, the Broadway Musical.  It's based on Alcott's novel that follows the outspoken Jo March as she navigates her life as an aspiring writer. 

The performance was at UT Dallas and was presented through special arrangements with the Music Theatre International. 

The music and singing talent in this performance was amazing.  But, one of the best parts was the lovely costumes.  The young lady who coordinates our English Country Dancing each month was one of the costume designers for today's performance.  So many of the costumes were the same ones the girls have wore to our formal dances.  The family rents out the beautiful dresses for the formal Christmas ball. 

This was the first time for UT Dallas to produce a musical, hopefully it will be well attended and there will be more to come! 

Like a lily among thorns

    is my darling among the young women.
