Pride & Prejudice The Musical - adapted from Jane Austen by Josie Brown

Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters sing! Mr. Darcy dances! And so do most of the others you may know. Jane Austens colorful Regency period romance comes to the stage in all its glory in this wonderful musical that will please newcomers to the tale as well as those steeped (like good cup of tea) in the classic tale of great romance.

The Bennets have five daughters, and Mrs. Bennet wishes to marry them off to suitors of appropriate social status. A tangle of suitors do appear including the somewhat dodgy George Wickham and somewhat ingenuous Mr. Bingley and the very intriguing Fitzwilliam Darcy. The ensuing romances and complications have delighted readers and audiences in book, plays and movies for centuries.

The script by Josie Brown and music and lyrics by Marins own Rita Abrams is Close to perfect a musical treatment of a famous literary milestone that, although modern in form, carefully preserves the vision of the original. Charles Brousse, Pacific Sun.
