Charlotte Lucas. The world’s most famous spinster. So sad. Or… so gay?? …No!! She’s just practical. It’s sooo practical to only want a husband for security, not love. And it’s sooo normal to be obsessed with your female best friend… but Charlotte’s not gay!! Except, wait, now one of Lizzy’s sisters is seeming extremely hot…?? Help!!!
This isn’t your grandma’s Pride & Prejudice (although she’ll still probably like it) (no shade, abuela!). This is our scribbled-in-the-margins, read-between-the-lines, brand-new queer regency romance fantasia. We never saw ourselves in our favorite love stories, and we’d like to change that! Our mission is to center queer people, people of color, and people of all body sizes in a bright and joyful celebration of how wonderful and dumb romance is.
Do you like Pride & Prejudice? You’ll love this musical!
Have you never read Pride & Prejudice? You’ll love this musical!
In our darkest days as artists (and best friends), we found ourselves gravitating towards jokes and love and laughter as our way through. We want to celebrate queer joy, because we believe that queer joy remains nothing short of a revolution.
We’d like to invite everybody to join us at that fabulous dance party! Seriously, you should come.
