“So many things to admire, from the wit, bite and insouciance of Rita Abrams’ lyrics to her command of the musical forms that make the piece take wing and soar.” 
Steven Winn, San Francisco Chronicle

"Rita Abrams' PRIDE AND PREJUDICE songs are great: catchy, entertaining, and in the case of the ballads, touching. She has captured the period flavor in both music and lyrics and given the score just the right gloss. The tunes shimmer with an inviting appeal, and it's clear that the Abrams-Brown production has the right 'sensibility' for Austen and her characters." 
Gerald Nachman, theatre critic and author of Seriously Funny: The Rebel Comedians of the 1950s and 1960s

“The songs are often funny and occasionally surprisingly bawdy. Brown’s adaptation conveys the gist of the novel fairly and effectively, and gives some sense of Austen’s sly humor, accentuated by the more whimsical drollery of the musical numbers. In true romantic comedy fashion, these elements come together into what feels like a natural pair." Marin Independent Journal
