I've seen 2 plays in the last 30 days and loved them both.
First up is Austen's Pride, a new musical based on Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice. Since I love Austen I really enjoyed this one. It combined Jane trying to write the novel and the novel. It's a story i know by heart but having Jane Austen pop in and out and make comments about what she was trying to do gave it a nice twist. I don't know that it's going to break all records for a musical because it is pretty typical musical material but the actors were great, music fun and a story i love.
The second play was just last week and it was Dracula! Saw it 2 days after Halloween which was pretty appropriate. The ACT theater produced this and i really liked it. Spooky and super well done. I haven't read Dracula in years so i didn't remember the entire story but really enjoyed it. They had a woman sitting up at the top of the set who played cello and sang which gave it an eerily feel to it. Also really liked that it was a diverse cast which makes me super happy. Perfect Sunday afternoon activity!
