This modern version of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” takes place in New York. The life of a young and tense author is changed forever, when meeting a flighty photographer. Accompanied by their eccentric friends they learn to love each other, not in spite of their dysfunctions but because of them. Nominated for a Drama Desk Award. Several productions at the Village Theatre, Off-Broadway: ”It’s terrific, refreshing fun.” – The New York Times / ”as feisty, friendly, and funny a musical comedy as New York has seen in ages […] Stop worrying, for the moment, about the current health of the musical theatre. The authors provide fervent hope for the future of the earnest, irony-free romantic musical comedy. The characters here do the unthinkable: They sing what they actually feel. If you’ve been looking for the perfect date musical, or just a show to restore your faith in musical comedy’s ability to take itself, its laughs, and its feelings seriously, your search ends with I Love You Because.” – Talking Broadway.com
