I LOVE YOU BECAUSE is a charming, modern-day reimagining of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, set against the backdrop of bustling New York City. This witty and heartfelt musical follows an uptight, rule-bound greeting card writer whose world is upended when he meets a free-spirited photographer with a mind of her own. As their unlikely romance unfolds—mirroring the sparks and clashes of Austen’s beloved characters—they navigate love, misunderstandings, and the meddling of their delightfully eccentric friends and siblings.
With humor, heart, and a touch of Regency sensibility in a contemporary world, I LOVE YOU BECAUSE celebrates the idea that true love isn’t about perfection, but about embracing each other’s flaws—because of, not in spite of, them.
