You probably read the book in fifth grade, may have snored through a community theater production or perhaps you've seen the 1994 movie version starring a pre-klepto Winona Ryder. Still, a musical remake of the Louisa May Alcott classic seems about as likely as A Farewell to Arms — The Ballet, yet here it is in all its Maureen McGovern-esque glory: Little Women — The Musical. This touring Broadway production depicts the saga of the March sisters as they grow up in Civil War-era America with singing, dancing and … more singing. Through March 12, 7:30 p.m. Thurs., 8 p.m. Fri., 2 and 8 p.m. Sat., 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sun. Carol Morsani Hall, Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, downtown Tampa, $31.50-$67.50. 813-229-7827, www.tbpac.org.
