I Love You Because (Off-Broadway) News & Features
Set in New York City, I Love You Because follows Austin Bennet, a young greeting card writer whose life is turned upside down when he finds his long-term girlfriend in bed with another man. Forced back out into the treacherous New York dating scene, Austin meets Marcy Fitzwilliams, a flighty photographer whose spontaneity is matched only by her ability to drive him insane. A modern day musical re-telling of Jane Austen's classic novel Pride and Prejudice with the genders reversed, I Love You Because explores the ‘rules' and nuances of dating and learning how to love someone, not in spite of their differences, but because of them.
