Julian and Emily are just two great characters together and apart. I really liked that Julian operated his own theater and that he wanted to change the reputation of it. Even if that means a marriage of convenience to Emily. 

I liked that through her marriage to Julian, Emily learned how to stand up for herself and not let the snobs of the ton dictate her behavior. I love how she got Julian's father to actually come to the theater so he could accept his son's chosen profession.
