She Loves Me at Renton Civic Theatre

February 2, 2026

Renton Civic Theatre Presents: She Loves Me

Book by Joe Masteroff, Music by Jerry Bock, Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick 

Renton, WA –  Join Renton Civic Theatre this February to enjoy a romantic comedy for the ages, playing February 13-March 1, 2026! “She Loves Me” is the story of two feuding coworkers who find an unexpected connection through anonymous letters. If it reminds you of the story behind the film “You’ve Got Mail,” you’d be on the right track, since that film was based on this musical.

Set in a 1930s European perfumery, our pair starts out unlucky in love – they’re shop clerks who just don’t see eye to eye. After both respond to a newspaper advertisement meant for those with lonely hearts, they find connection with each other.  While their identities remain secret, their love starts to grow… and hijinks inevitably ensue.

Featuring music by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof) and book by Joe Masteroff (Cabaret), “She Loves Me” was nominated for five Tony Awards in 1964. The 1993 Broadway revival won the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical and the 1994 Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, while the 2016 Broadway Revival snagged the Tony Award for Best Scenic Design (beating Hamilton!). Heartfelt and witty, with classic songs like “Vanilla Ice Cream” this musical sparkles with timeless melodies and endearing characters.
