Point Park University's Conservatory Theatre Company presents She Loves Me at Point Park University's Pittsburgh Playhouse Dec. 10-19. A preview performance is open to the public on Thursday, Dec. 9. The book for She Loves Me was written by Joe Masteroff, with music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick; it is directed by Jack Allison.
One of the most charming musicals ever written, She Loves Me is a sweet, light story of two co-workers in a perfume shop in 1930's Europe. These feuding clerks can barely tolerate the sight of each other, but have secret happy outlets with anonymous pen pals, not knowing, of course, that their mysterious correspondents are none other than each other. With warmth, intelligence and nostalgia, it's the perfect holiday musical, as Georg and Amalia come to a remarkable realization on Christmas Eve.She Loves Me premiered at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in New York City on April 22, 1963. It won the 1964 Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical and was nominated for Best Musical, Best Author, Best Direction and Best Producer.She Loves Me opens Friday, Dec. 10 and runs through Sunday, Dec. 19, 2010. Performances will be held Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets range in price from $18 to $20 and can be purchased by calling the Pittsburgh Playhouse box office at 412-392-8000 or online at www.pittsburghplayhouse.com.Videos
