You're listening to Pride and Prejudice - The Musical's first song, Welcome to Our Neighborhood.

In this first episode of Pride and Prejudice - The Musical Podcast, librettist Josie Brown and lyricist-composer Rita Abrams break down the how and why of this song’s conception.

Not only will you hear this song in its entirety, but you’ll also learn about another musical number, A Pleasant Little Life, that was actually slated to be the opening number—and why it was decided that this one fit the bill even better.

Josie and Rita also discuss why they were driven to make a musical from the classic book written by the most beloved author of Regency-era novelist, Jane Austen.

In other episodes to follow, Rita and Josie discuss their creative process with each of the songs and how Jane Austen’s wonderful book inspired the placement, pace, and lyrics in this musical.
