I LOVE YOU BECAUSE on the road in Coral Gables

Filed under: Stage — Mags @ 11:13 pm

Florida is becoming a hotbed of Austen-related stage productions! :D The Actor’s Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre in Coral Gables, Florida, will present I LOVE YOU BECAUSE as part of their 2006-2007 season.

The musical sensation, I Love You Because (January 17-February 11, 2007) sets the pace for life’s romantic sketches on relationships in the 21st century. A gender-reversed modern day musical retelling of Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice, I Love You Because is set in New York City and follows Austin Bennet, a young greeting card writer whose life is turned upside down when he finds his long-term girlfriend Catherine in bed with another man. Forced back out into the treacherous New York dating scene, Austin meets Marcy Fitzwilliams, a flighty photographer whose spontaneity is matched only by her ability to drive him insane. This new musical comedy explores the ‘rules’ and nuances of dating and learning how to love someone, not in spite of their differences, but because of them. A modern day musical love story, I Love You Because is the newest Off-Broadway hit musical since I Love You, You’re Perfect Now Change.

    We can only hope that I Love You Because is far superior to I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, one of the worst musicals to ever grace the off-Broadway stage! ;)
