Pride and Prejudice: A New Musical

I liked it, however i really felt like the actor playing elizabeth is fighting the track. She cannot for the life of her find the key. I think it might be music im not sure, its not all bad. But something is so off about the book. Some songs are so good, but others im just hoping it ends. Mr darcy was such a good respite, next to mr bennet that always made me laugh. It's something nice to keep in the background while i do other things, but im not sure. I will say that the girl who played jane needed to be cast as Elizabeth she has got some beautiful pipes on her. And since elizabeth sings like 80% of the musical its a rough time. Her acting is amazing but her singing leaves so much to be desired.

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.

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 love the story of Pride and Prejudice and this musical really makes me love it even more! The casting is spot on! I love the music and the lyrics. I keep watching it over and over again because I am stressed out by world events and this musical is bringing me to a better happier time. I am so glad that I found this! Thanks so much to the talented writer and cast!

It was good except they made Lizzy say she hated the idea of marriage? She's headstrong and didn't want to be married off to just anyone, but she wasn't against it in the book. Otherwise 9 stars!
