“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of large fortune must be in want of a husband.” So begins Prejudice and Pride, a gender-swapped folk musical of Jane Austen’s novel, set in modern day rural Tennessee. What follows is a humorous and warm adaptation with plenty of heart.
The heavens are filled with bright, shiny stars and so is the stage at the Musical Theater Heritage theater located in Crown Center. The hilarious world premiere of PREJUDICE AND PRIDE runs through July 24th and then goes to Edinburgh, Scotland in August. Sam Writes and Nicholas Collett Production brings this gender-swapping American folk music to life with a comedy style befitting of a larger audience. What did our critic think of PREJUDICE AND PRIDE OPENS IN KANSAS CITY at Musical Theater Heritage?
