Roundabout Theatre Company has announced new dates for the upcoming Broadway revival of the musical She Loves Me. Preview performances will now begin on February 19 with on official opening set for March 17 for a limited engagement through June 5 at Studio 54. The production was originally set to begin on February 5, with an opening on March 3.
She Loves Me will star Tony Award winner Laura Benanti (Amalia) and Zachary Levi (Georg), alongside René Auberjonois (Maraczek), Gavin Creel (Kodaly), Michael McGrath (Sipos), and Jane Krakowski (Ilona). The new Broadway production will be directed by Scott Ellis and choreographed by Warren Carlyle with musical direction by Paul Gemignani.
In the musical, Benanti plays Amalia, a perfume-shop clerk engaged in a battle of wits with her coworker, Georg (Levi). Little do they know that they're also romantic pen pals who happen to be falling for each other. Featuring a score by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock and a book by Joe Masteroff, She Loves Me is inspired by the play Parfumerie by Miklós László, which also served as the inspiration for the films The Shop Around the Corner and You've Got Mail.
The creative team includes David Rockwell (sets), Jeff Mahshie (costumes), Don Holder (lights), Jon Weston (sound), Larry Hochman (orchestrations), and David Krane (dance arrangements and incidental music).
