Pride and Prejudice * (*sort of)


  • Sydney Opera House (map)

The five star West End sensation

Songs, silliness and sensibility.

Following its London triumph, where it won the 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 Sydney for the first time, five fearless women bring Austen’s world of love, class and chaos to life. With heart, humour and unstoppable energy, they deliver a modern twist on one of the world’s most loved classics.

Presented by Sydney Opera House in association with Gooding and Woodward Productions, by arrangement with David Pugh Limited
