An intimate and touching show with music by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof) and book by Joe Masteroff (Cabaret), She Loves Me is considered by many to be the most charming musical ever written—a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old-world elegance. Based on the Miklós László play Parfumerie, it also inspired the beloved film You’ve Got Mail starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.
Please prepare a Broadway-style showtune to sing and bring sheet music with you. An accompanist will be provided. Please dress in comfortable clothes and shoes that you can easily move in.
