“Little Women” is the newest production by Ogden Musical Theatre to hit the Peery’s Egyptian Theater stage. It’s a concert-style rendition of the Broadway musical based on Louisa May Alcott’s semi-autobiographical 1868 novel that follows the adventures of the four March sisters — the not-so-feminine writer Jo, shy Beth, traditional Meg, and the romantic and slightly selfish Amy — who come of age while their father is away fighting in the Civil War and befriend the boy next door. Being a “concert” rather than a full musical production means fewer set pieces, light choreography and having the cast on stage throughout the performance. Ogden Chamber Orchestra, led by Michael Palumbo, plays live and onstage as the show takes place.

Thursday through Monday, various showtimes; Peery’s Egyptian Theater, 2415 Washington Blvd.; $20-$28; ogdenmusicaltheatre.org.
