“Very simply, it is the music that makes a visit to ‘Prejudice and Pride’ worthwhile...Taken for what it is, a lot of tuneful music held together with a shambly plot and a ton of heart, and you will find there is a lot to like about ‘Prejudice and Pride.’”

The show left me with persistent questions about how to enact meaningful change, or even define it.
