I Love You Because to Get London Production

The 2006 Off-Broadway hit I Love You Because, a gender-swapped musical retelling of the Jane Austen novel Pride and Prejudice, will get a run at London’s Landor Theatre, September 16-October 20. The UK premiere production is directed by Robert McWhir and designed by Andy Edwards, with choreography by Robbie O’Reilly, and lighting by Richard Lambert.

Featuring music by Joshua Salzman and book and lyrics by Ryan Cunningham, the musical centers on two New York brothers and the girls they fall in love with. Greeting card writer Austen Bennett has feelings for photographer Marcy, whose uptight best friend Diana embarks on an unlikely romance with Austen’s slacker brother Jeff.

The cast will feature Daniel Boys, a finalist on the hit British reality-TV series Any Dream Will Do, Debbie Kurup, Richard Frame, Cameron Jack, Jodie Jacobs, and Lucy Emma Williamson.
