by Perry Tannenbaum - Sep 9, 2025

What better way to celebrate Jane Austen's 250th anniversary than to introduce an admirable musical adaptation of her most beloved book, Pride and Prejudice? Thanks to Lindsay Warren Baker & Amanda Jacobs' AUSTEN PRIDE, we have a near-perfect celebration, beautifully balancing P&P's exquisite comedy and romance.

Igor Goldin and Sheela Ramesh’s collaborative direction have drawn radiant performances and resonant vocals from a hugely talented cast. Olivia Hernandez, Delphi Borich, Dan Hoy, and the rest of this cast show up with excellence and deliver at the highest level.
