ABOUT THE SHOW
Jane Austen’s adored heroine gets the musical treatment in "EMMA" from acclaimed composer and lyricist Paul Gordon (“Daddy Long Legs,” “Jane Eyre”).
For centuries, "EMMA" has charmed and delighted readers - and now she does so onstage.
With the option of setting the show either in the Regency Era or mid-century modern, "EMMA" is truly a timeless tale of love, making mistakes, and holding yourself accountable.
A carefree woman, "EMMA" has "the very best blessings of existence" with "very little to vex or distress me."
"EMMA" is also a self-proclaimed matchmaker who thinks too highly of her abilities.
When her attempts at matchmaking and romance go awry, "EMMA" has to face herself and the people she has hurt.
"EMMA" is full of wit and charm.
See for yourself why everyone is falling in love with ”EMMA”. . (MTI)
