Party down, party people.

1/24/2013

 
Our twist on Ms. Austen's classic is set over the course of three different parties. A wedding. A New Year's Eve Fundraiser. An Valentine's Day Gala. Each of these events is the back drop on which that characters love each other, hate each other, and drink a significant amount of champagne. In this party spirit, we've asked the cast, crew and designers to weigh in on their music and fashion party preferences. - Heidi
