Join us for a masterclass with the creative team behind Jo – The Little Women Musical in Concert: a one-night-only concert performance of a new musical adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s seminal classic.

In this panel conversation, led by the Masterclass team and using questions from the audience, we’ll be discussing the development and production of new work, from drafts and workshops to the West End, as well as the challenges, breakthroughs, and creative decisions along the way.

Our panel will be composed of:

  • Composer – Dan Redfeld
  • Co-Lyricists and Book Writers – Christina Harding and John Gabriel Koladziej
  • Co-Lead Producers – Brian Purcell and Rob O’Neill

This masterclass is ideal for writers, producers, directors, and anyone who wants to know about the process of developing work – from initial idea to first audience. Come ready with questions and learn from a team with incredible experience across mediums and countries.
