"Little House" on the Broadway

In a new Broadway musical of the classic children's book, actress Melissa Gilbert returns to the Little House on the Prairie. This time she's starring not as Laura Ingalls, but as Ma.

The musical is scored by Rachel Portman, with a book by Rachel Sheinken and lyrics by Donna DiNovelli. Francesca Zambello directs.

The world premiere is scheduled for August 15 at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, with a move to Broadway anticipated for the 2008-2009 season.

The play is produced by Ben Sprecher and Louise Forlenza, who have formed a new production company, Global Broadway Productions Inc., to create, develop, and produce new musicals for Broadway and beyond.
