WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Set in Budapest in the 1930's, this charming, warm, ageless comedy is a love letter from Broadway's golden age of the romantic musical. Fall in love with the story of two intensely competitive perfume shop clerks who find romance with the most unlikely people - each other. Funny, intelligent and sentimental, this timeless tale of secret romantic pen pals, along with the winsome eccentric colleagues who aid and abet them, is the inspiration for such enduring Hollywood hits as "The Shop Around the Corner," "In the Good Old Summertime," and "You've Got Mail."
Featuring music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and a book by Joe Masteroff. Based on a play by Miklos Laszlo. Directed and choreographed by James Brennan, with music direction by Tom Helm.

For lush musical-comedy romanticism, it's hard to beat She Loves Me. There is a timeless magic about this 1963 show, which has a score by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick and a book by Joe Masteroff. Factoring in lonely hearts ads, adultery, a fair amount of nasty sparring, and even a suicide attempt, here is a thoroughly adult musical that also happens to be family-friendly -- an unusual combination, especially today.
The show is so expertly crafted that, even when certain aspects of a particular production aren't perfect, it works. That's the case with the Paper Mill Playhouse's She Loves Me, directed by James Brennan, who superbly staged The Sound of Music for the theater last season. B[...]
