TV: Emma at NYMF

The New York Musical Theatre Festival presents Emma, Jane Austen's classic tale of matchmaking goes awry with book, lyrics and music by Joel Adlen.

Jane Austen's novel comes to life in this delightful musical comedy. In the town of Highbury, Emma Woodhouse sets about matchmaking her protege to the town's vicar, but the scheme backfires. Mistaken notions of who loves whom turn Emma's world upside-down until she finally discovers what she has long denied: Cupid's bow is pointed at herself, and love can be found from an unexpected source.

Performances at The Acorn Theater on Theater Row (410 West 42nd St.). Schedule: Oct 2, 8:00 pm; Oct 3, 1:00 pm; Oct 4, 4:30 pm; Oct 4, 8:00 pm; Oct 5, 8:00 pm; Oct 7, 1:00 pm. Tickets are $20. For reservations please call (212) 352-3101 or visit www.nymf.org to purchase tickets online.
