She Loves Me
Musical
Book by Joe Masteroff
Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick
Music by Jerry Bock
Based on Parfumerie by Miklos Laszlo
This blockbuster multiple award-winning musical is considered the most charming musical ever written. With a book by Cabaret's Joe Masteroff, and music and lyrics by the team that brought us Fiddler on the Roof and Fiorello!, She Loves Me is an enchanting love story. Georg and Amalia are two coworkers who bicker constantly but anonymously write each other through a Lonely Hearts column, and ultimately fall in love. With 25 show-stopper songs, She Loves Me is, as Frank Rich of The New York Times said, '... a continuously melodic evening of sheer enchantment and complete escape' and is, as TheaterMania writes, '... impossible not to love.'
