In the romantic comedy musical She Loves Me, two salesclerks working in a charming 1930s European perfumery spar endlessly, each 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. Kelly Crandall d'Amboise (Signature's Grand Hotel, Light Years) is the choreographer, and Jon Kalbfleisch (Assassins, Simply Sondheim) is the Music Director and Conductor.
