ABOUT
“Ernest in Love” is a charming musical adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s timeless comedy, “The Importance of Being Earnest.” Set in the refined society of Victorian England, the story follows the misadventures of two young bachelors, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who create fictitious alter egos to escape the constraints of their social obligations. As Jack courts the lovely Gwendolen Fairfax under his pseudonym, Ernest, Algernon takes on the persona of Jack’s non-existent brother, Bunbury, to woo Jack’s ward, Cecily Cardew. However, their web of lies becomes increasingly tangled when their deceptions are exposed, threatening their relationships and reputations. Amidst the hilarity and wit of Wilde’s original dialogue, “Ernest in Love” delivers a delightful blend of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and societal satire, underscored by a lively and memorable score.
With its witty lyrics and captivating melodies, “Ernest in Love” transports audiences to a bygone era of high society and romance. As Jack and Algernon navigate the complexities of love and identity, they ultimately learn valuable lessons about authenticity and the true nature of relationships. Featuring lively ensemble numbers, heartfelt solos, and comedic duets, the musical captures the essence of Wilde’s classic tale while infusing it with a fresh and vibrant energy. From the elegant drawing rooms of London to the whimsical gardens of the countryside, “Ernest in Love” invites audiences on a delightful journey filled with laughter, romance, and timeless charm.
