Caldwell's Calendar
by Beau Higgins - Dec 12, 2008


Caldwell Theatre Company 2008-2009 Mainstage Season celebrates its 34th Season in Boca Raton Play #1 Now - December 14, 2008 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.'
