Last night, Brad and I went to Eastman to see THE debut of a new musical version of Pride and Prejudice, which is scheduled to hit Broadway next year! Since it is a show still "in the process," it wasn't a full scale production- meaning limited sets and an on-stage orchestra (that really seemed like part of the set - I loved it!), and times when the performers carried scripts (which I thought would be distracting but it really wasn't at all). The casting was phenomenal, the music gorgeous, and the script writing very clever! Jane Austen is a character in the play who revisits her original transcript for Pride and Prejudice, entitled First Impressions, as it was rejected from a publisher years before who wouldn't even read it. She goes through the story, interacting with her characters as she develops it into the story we now all know and love.
Brad and I used to go see plays and musicals quite frequently in our BK days (before kids), so it was fun so revisit the theater and spend some time doing something together we both love. I hope that when this show does get to Broadway, we'll be able to take a trip to go see it again in it's full glory!
