The world that scenic designer David Rockwell has created in Roundabout Theatre Company' revival of She Loves Me is nothing short of lovely. The musical, for which he was recently nominated for a Tony Award, marks his twentieth Broadway show and third of this theatre season. So how did he bring this one to life? What's as he explains to Richard Ridge!
Rockwell's Broadway credits include: On the Twentieth Century (Tony nomination), On Your Feet, Sylvia, You Can't Take It With You (Tony nomination), Kinky Boots (Tony nomination), Lucky Guy (Tony nomination),Hairspray (Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle nominations), and upcoming productions of Falsettos and Gotta Dance. TV: 81st and 82nd Academy Awards (2010 Emmy Award). He is the founder of Rockwell Group, an architecture and design studio. Honors include the AIA New York President's Award, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award, and Presidential Design Award.
She Loves Me is a heartwarming musical comedy classic about finding love the good old-fashioned way. It follows Georg (Levi) and Amalia (Benanti), two parfumerie clerks who aren't quite the best of friends. Constantly bumping heads while on the job, the sparring coworkers can't seem to find common ground. But little do they know, the anonymous romantic pen pals they have both been falling for happen to be each other! Will love continue to blossom once their identities are finally revealed?
