Laura Benanti and Zachary Levi Preview Broadway's She Loves Me
Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick, and Joe Masteroff's She Loves Me returns to Broadway on February 19, and the stars met the press at Studio 54 to discuss this classic musical. Inspired by Miklós László's play Parfumerie, which also served as the inspiration for the films The Shop Around the Corner and You've Got Mail, the work tells the story of Amalia and Georg, a pair of perfume-shop coworkers engaged in a battle of wits who unknowingly become romantic pen pals.
In this production Amalia and Georg are played by Broadway vets Laura Benanti and Zachary Levi. Check out a photo of the onstage frenemies below.

The ensemble is made up of Cameron Adams, Alison Cimmet, Justin Bowen, Preston Truman Boyd, Benjamin Eakeley, Sara Edwards, Michael Fatica, Gina Ferrall, Jenifer Foote, Andrew Kober, Laura Shoop, and Jim Walton. Scott Ellis directs.
