Based on the novel by Jane Austen, Wellesley College’s production of Sense and Sensibility, A New Musical will bring the repressed sentiments, soaring emotions, and Austen’s signature wit to life.

Enter the world of the Dashwoods, two sisters as different as can be. Elinor is reserved, self-possessed, and rational to a fault, while Marianne is wildly romantic, emotionally uninhibited, and disdainful of half-measures. Bound by their love for each other and their inner sense of social independence, but torn by their conflicting notions of ideal love, they struggle to cope with reduced circumstances and the pressure to marry well. Ecstasy, deception, dashed hopes, and near-tragedy lead them to discover profound truths that bring them closer together and finally put them within reach of true and lasting happiness.

Sense and Sensibility is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Music Department, Theatre Program (Wellesley College Theatre/Wellesley Summer Theatre), and the English Department at Wellesley College.

      I didn't think a musical could do justice to the book, but I was so wrong. The music, the pacing, the wonderful acting, singing & playing - please do not miss it!

      A brilliantly interpreted classic is brought to life in this musical rendition of Jane Austen's, Sense and Sensibility. From the beautifully written dialog that perfectly weaves subtle drama with piercing wit, to the exciting, Sondheim-influenced music, this production is sure to move you on multiple levels. A new musical of this caliber has the rare potential to make it on the big stage, and I am sure it will do just that. Collapse
