Pride and Prejudice gets a wacky makeover in this tale of money, marriage and manners set in the Wild West
All of the usual characters are here with some eccentric behaviors, diversions and interests in a play where the idioms are as colorful as the costumes
With encouragement from Mrs. Bennet - who's looking to get her daughters off the farm and hitched - Mr. Bennet pays a visit to Mr. Bingley
Bingley - who just bought Netherfield Ranch - is new to the neighborhood and "single as a polecat"
That visit results in the invitation to a ball, where the Bennet girls get to meet some fancy gents
Bingley takes a fancy to Jane
His friend, Mr Darcy - also eligible and wealthy - looks down his nose at the whole clan
But later becomes enamored with Lizzie
Meanwhile, Preacher Collins proposes to Lizzie but is turned down
And Lydia falls for Lieutenant Wickham, a handsome fortune hunter
In the end, love, not money, rules the day as three daughters end up married
And Mrs Bennet joyously proclaims that Lizzie is "gonna have a gold plated six-shooter an' a beaver skin coat!"
