Pride and Prejudice: A New Musical

I went into this with low expectations but came out with a new favorite film. This musical is fun, entertaining, and (as mentioned above) contains some BOPS. I'm looking at you Mr. Darcy 😏 If you love Jane Austen as I do, stop what you are doing and watch this IMMEDIATELY. This is a game changer. Also the Kristoff from Frozen Live at the Hyperion in DCA is in this so that is a fun bonus! Jane Austen is clapping from heaven at this production.

My wife and I wandered into this gem and found it one of the most beautiful portrayals of Jane Austin's best work since Colin and Jennifer made it our favorite miniseries ever... years ago.

This musical is one that I wish we could have seen in person on Broadway--it's possible that could have happened without Covid... but to all Austen fans... it is a must see!

Next step... buy the sound track!

I look forward to seeing more from these fine actors and actresses in the future!

As a HUGE Jane Austen fan, this musical had been on my watch list for a long time. While I knew the story, I didn't really know what to expect about this adaptation tuning in. It felt a little cringey in the beginning, but once I got into the rhythm of it, I didn't mind those awkward moments. I think it really picked up when Mr. Collins entered the stage. (Why wouldn't it though, right?) At times certain songs went on a little long for me, so I was grateful for the opportunity to fast forward. However, certain songs stayed in my head long after I was listening. The musical does a great job of including original lines from the book. I also like how Lizzie becomes the narrator and takes on an Austen quality too.

I am a die hard Jane Austen fan and I loved this musical! It is slightly cheesier than the original but it stays with the overall plot of Pride and Prejudice well and has a lot of lovely additions. The music was amazing as well, the songs are very catchy and I've found myself singing them as I go about my day. The characters are very well cast and so fun to watch. If you are a stickler for sticking exactly to the source material you might not like it but if you are like me and you like a good interpretation, you'll love this production! Highly recommend!

LOVED THIS!!! and I don't even like musicals. MR> Darcy was perfection and Elizabeth was just as I had always pictured her. the whole cast was womderful.
