"Rockwell creates memorable songs for each character, building brilliant layers of tunes audiences can't help but walk away singing."
~BroadwayWorld.com 
"There's terrific singing from the cast, particularly Josh Powell as Carrisford and Michael De Souza as his servant." ~Sacramento Bee

A LITTLE PRINCESS is the story of a girl on a ledge between happiness and loss, and a grown man teetering between youth and maturity. Together they help each other to bear what must be endured, and open their hearts to what can be dreamed.
Based on the beloved classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess is a full-length, large-cast family musical full of adventure, humor and heart. “The music is gorgeous, the lyrics are smart, and the book is funny.” ~Lynn Ahrens  "The wealthy, widowed captain and his daughter have been living in India, but he doesn't feel it's the proper place for her education; their difficult separation is told in the beautiful duet 'I Know You By Heart'." ~Sacramento Bee "Rockwell’s score does much to propel A Little Princess into the eventual Broadway production territory." ~Sacramento Press  Sara Crewe helps the girls use their imaginations. |
