She Loves Me

Mar 2 - Apr 24, 2022

A romantic, witty and effervescent musical comedy by the creators of Fiddler on the Roof.

In a charming 1930s European perfumery, two salesclerks spar endlessly, saving their sweetest words for an anonymous pen pal. Unbeknownst to them, however, their “dear friend” happens to be each other in a joyful, transcendent, and perfectly crafted escapade featuring the treasured songs “Vanilla Ice Cream,” “A Trip to the Library” and the irrepressible title song.

“A lingering and deeply satisfying sweetness… for those moments when you sense a song in your heart.”
THE NEW YORK TIMES

Book by Joe Masteroff
Music by Jerry Bock
Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick
Directed by Matthew Gardiner
