Fan Casting Pride and Prejudice: A New Broadway Musical

Pride and Prejudice follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness. As the eldest, she faces mounting pressure from her parents to marry. When the outspoken Elizabeth is introduced to the handsome and upper-class Mr. Darcy, sparks fly. Although there is obvious chemistry between the two, Darcy's overly reserved nature threatens the fledgling relationship. Its humour lies in its honest depiction of manners, education, marriage, and money during the Regency era in Great Britain.
