ABOUT THE SHOW
Seven generations have read the story, this September KW Productions will sing it!
Based on Louisa May Alcott’s life and how she came to write the critically acclaimed 1868 novel, LITTLE WOMEN follows the adventures of sisters Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March, each determined to live life on her own terms. This timeless, captivating story is brought to life in this glorious musical filled with adventure, heartache and everlasting love.
With a superbly talented cast and a powerful soaring score, this beloved tale of self-discovery and hope promises an “Astonishing” theatrical experience for the whole family.

REVIEWS FOR DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (2024)
"This was the company’s 10th anniversary, having won 3 Noda awards in that time, most recently for Gypsy in 2023. In looking forward to this KW production I wondered how they would follow Gypsy’s success. Evidently thinking “and now for something completely different”, this was a complete contrast. Beauty and the Beast is full of colour, music, dance, lots of fascinating characters and lots of comedy. It is of course a love story, and as a stage production true to the 1991 Disney movie." (Colin Blackler, District 6 NODA Rep)
“5* From the breath taking performances to the immersive staging and live music, this is a production that transcends its amateur status and is worthy of a sell-out run." (What's Good to Do)
"This production is full of magic that will fill the hearts of every single audience member." (Beyond The Curtain)
"5* There’s an excellent balance and it offers something for all, you will not leave disappointed." (Theatre & Tonic)
"I have been seeing KW Production shows for the last 10 years and every show is bigger, better and more professional than the last." (Paul's Pen - Western Gazette)
