‘Little House on the Prairie’ Tour Begins Tonight!

The brand new stage musical Little House on the Prairie, a take on the Laura Ingalls Wilder book and television series of the same name, will launch its national tour tonight starting in St. Paul, Minnesota, debuting at the Ordway Theater today, Oct. 13, and running through Oct. 25 in Minnesota. This current adaptation of Little House on the Prairie stars Melissa Gilbert, the famous actress who played Laura Ingalls in the TV series as a child, and it also features Steve Blanchard (Charles “Pa” Ingalls), Kevin Massey (Almanzo Wildero), Kate Loprest (Nellie Oleson), Alessa Neeck (Mary), Carly Rose Sonenclar (Carrie Ingalls) and more.

Little House on the Prairie - The Musical is a story of American life in the late 19th century, and the musical adaptation made its world premiere last summer in Minneapolis, now beginning its national tour stint in St. Paul before traveling to Nashville, Denver, Omaha, Raleigh, Sacramento and Toronto over the next several months. Little House on the Prairie will also play though a number of other cities before ending (tentatively) in June of 2010.
