happiness in marriage - original cast of pride & prejudice: a new musical lyrics

Loading...

[lizzie, spoken]
“it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife”
i don’t necessarily find that to be true

surely a man must be in want of more than just a wife
i cannot believe that marriage is all that is meant to define us or that it is the only fortune on which our happiness depends

[charlotte, spoken]
yes, of course it is

[lizzie, spoken]
my best friend, charlotte lucas

[charlotte, spoken]
lizzie, everything depends on finding the right partner

[lizzie, spoken]
does it?

[charlotte]
happinеss in marriage is essential and dеsired
it must be all a woman dreams of
craving is required

but when you meet your suitor
kiss him once then say “adieu”
the more you get to know him the more he gets to know you
so it’s better to know as little as possible
as little as possible
better to wait until it’s much too late

secure him first then leave the rest to fate

[mary, spoken]
longbourne, the bennets country home

[mrs bennet, spoken]
lizzie, lizzie! you will never guess what has happened! netherfield has been let!

[lizzie, spoken]
my charming mother

[charlotte, spoken]
netherfield?

[mr bennet, spoken]
we are all beside ourselves with excitement

[lizzie, spoken]
let by whom?

[mrs bennet, spoken]
mr. bingley, handsome and rich as the day is long and sure to marry jane
[lizzie, spoken]
jane bennet, my gorgeous older sister

[jane, spoken]
it will be a refreshing change to see new faces in town, will it not?

[lizzie, spoken]
indeed it will

[mr bennet, spoken]
the man has barely stepped into our town and already you have him married off to jane

[mrs bennet, spoken]
well surely mr. bennet, jane cannot be this beautiful for nothing

[mr bennet, spoken]
god help me

[mrs bennet]
happiness in marriage is the pillar of my quest
first i’ll marry off the oldest
then marry off the rest

[lizzie, spoken]
lydia is only just 15
[lydia, spoken]
but going on 25

[mr bennet, spoken]
yes, in every way but wisdom

[mrs bennet]
i wouldn’t really care if she were still inside the womb
i vow to find them all a husband
dear lord, they can’t come too soon

and it’s better to be as pushy as
possible as zealous as possible
better to rush before there’s time to blush

[mr bennet]
what hopes he may have later you can crush
