Direct from its triumph in the West End where it won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy, Pride and Prejudice (*sort of) comes to Leeds Grand Theatre from 24 – 29 April.
This unique and audacious retelling of Jane Austen’s classic love story, Pride and Prejudice, features a string of pop classics including Young Hearts Run Free, Will You Love Me Tomorrow and You’re So Vain.
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.
