'Little House on the Prairie' has been turned into a musical that will open at the Guthrie Theater this summer.
Melissa Gilbert, who played main character Laura on the '70s TV show, will play "Ma" Ingalls this time around. She'll be joined by Kara Lindsay as Laura and Broadway veteran Steve Blanchard as "Pa" Ingalls. Blanchard played the Beast in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" for eight years.
Opening night for the musical, based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's stories about her childhood in a pioneer family, is set for August 15. Previews start July 26.
