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  Name: Claire Louise Nadeau - Stage Manager Hometown: Big Lake, MN Go to Party Tune: You Make My Dreams by Hall & Oats Go to Party Ensemble (Outfit): Dresses....sundresses weather permitting  Name: Kathryn Fumie - Emma Woodhouse Hometown: Sartell MN Go to Party Tune: Hey Ya by Outkast Go to Party Ensemble (Outfit): Black Cocktail dress and comfy kitten heels  Name: Carl Atiya Swanson - James Fairfax Hometown: Minneapolis, MN Go to Party Tune: "I Get Kick Out of You" - the Ella Fitzgerald version.
