Overview
By Isobel McArthur after Jane Austen
The five-star musical comedy sensation
Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) is finally coming to QPAC! Direct from its triumph in the West End where it won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy, Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) is a unique and audacious retelling of Jane Austen’s most iconic love story. Men, money and microphones will be fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation where the stakes couldn’t be higher when it comes to romance.
This “smart, laugh out loud funny” (Daily Telegraph) show features a string of pop classics including “Young Hearts Run Free”, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” and “You’re So Vain”. Coming to Australia for the first time, five fearless women bring Austen’s world of love, class and chaos to life with heart, humour and unstoppable energy in this modern take on one of the world’s most adapted pieces of literature.
