Jane Austen’s Emma—A New Musical

Music, Lyrics and Book by Paul Gordon

Directed by Robert Kelley


October 8–November 2, 2008

Obsessed with romance but utterly clueless about her own feelings, Emma Woodhouse is one of literature’s most delightful heroines. When her matchmaking mischief invariably misfires, Emma must navigate the choppy course of true love with a generous heart as her only guide. Funny and fulfilling, Austen’s 19th century masterpiece comes to sparkling life in this charming new musical adaptation by the Tony Award-nominated composer of Broadway’s Jane Eyre.

Faithful to Austen's novel but with its own fresh take on the story of an ambitious young woman's romantic journey, this bright and buoyant new musical is a treat for literature fans and musical devotees alike.
