Hello all,

It’s officially that time again - allergy season! And also finals season. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be surviving this week through copious amounts of Claritin and coffee. And you know what’s essential to surviving?

Reading some A&E news! We have a review of the new Michael Jackson biopic, the Guthrie’s “Little Women” and some sculpture garden news.

Give it a look!

There’s nobody quite like a sister: ‘Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women’ review

by Abbey Mulcahy | A&E Reporter | Published April 26, 2026

Whether it’s 2026 or 1868, some things never change: teenage defiance, boy best friends catching feelings and childish squabbles with sisters. In “Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women,” the four March sisters go through all of these things with a humorous, heartwarming edge.

The show, which opened at the Guthrie Theater April 23, blends Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel with fictional reflections from the author. Through family troubles and little victories, the show holds a mirror not only to Alcott and Jo’s similarities, but also to the timeless particularities of sisterhood.
