Scott Ellis directs the Roundabout Theatre Company revival.
Roundabout Theatre Company has announced an extension of its Broadway revival of the musical She Loves Me. The production, which is directed by Scott Ellis, will now play through July 10 at Studio 54. It was originally scheduled to close on June 5.
She Loves Me stars Tony Award winner Laura Benanti (Amalia) and Zachary Levi (Georg), alongside Gavin Creel (Kodaly), Michael McGrath (Sipos), Jane Krakowski (Ilona), Nicholas Barasch (Arpad), and Peter Bartlett (Head Waiter). 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.
The new Broadway production is 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.
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).
