Considered by many to be one of the most charming musicals ever written,
She Loves Me
is a warm romantic comedy that premiered in 1964 and continues to have very successful revivals on Broadway.
With music written by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick both of
Fiddler on the Roof
fame and based on the book by Joe Masteroff who wrote
Cabaret, She Loves Me
is of similar quality script and musical score.
Set in a 1930s European perfumery, shop clerks, Amalia and Georg, respond to a "lonely hearts advertisement" in the newspaper and they live for the love letters that they receive. The identity of their admirers remains unknown. Join Amalia and Georg to discover the identity of their true loves... and of all the twists and turns along the way!
She Loves Me showcases a talented cast playing a range of memorable characters with beautiful costumes and on an impressive set. This heartwarming story inspired the films The Shop Around the Corner and You've Got Mail.

She Loves Me follows two "lonely hearts," Georg Nowack (Aaron Talley of Big Fish) and Amalia Balash (Ivy Elizabeth, Always, Patsy Cline and Secret Garden). A turn of events finds them as feuding co-workers in Mr. Maraczeck's (Eric Trumbull, Deathtrap) shop along with the dapper womanizer, Steven Kodaly (Cristian Bustillos, Secret Garden), the wise-cracking, sexy Ilona Ritter (Hannah Neville, Much Ado About Nothing), faithful family man, Ladislav Sipos (John Downes, Secret Garden) and dedicated delivery boy, Arpad (Timothy Burhouse).
The cast of eighteen highlights a talented and energetic ensemble which includes such FCT notables as Cheryl Bolt and Madeline Fanta (both from Steel Magnolias), Hilary and Scott Pierce (most recently seen in Big Fish), Carleigh Hopkins (Legally Blonde), as well as Camden Gillespie and Gene Bates (Secret Garden.) Newcomers to FCT include Ben Bowers, Konstantin Langenberg, Christie Dubnansky, and Jennifer Rodriguez.
The production is directed by Diane King, vocal direction by Ivy Elizabeth, choreography of Laura Crowne, and produced by Laurie Bersack.
She Loves Me
promises to be a spectacular fun evening for the family. Director Diane King remarks "When I discovered this gem of a show, I knew I had to share it with FCT's audiences. It is simply too brilliant to be kept hidden. It will be a bright spot in holiday activities!"
