An endearing tale of unlikely sweethearts and the eccentric colleagues who aid and abet them, She Loves Me is based on Parfumerie, the play that also inspired the Jimmy Stewart classic "The Shop Around the Corner" and the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan film "You've Got Mail." The charming score is by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock, the songwriting team behind Fiddler on the Roof.

Event Highlights

  • "The perfect musical!" --Time magazine

More Details About This Event:

She Loves Me is the perfect musical--warm and funny, with what is considered one of the most beautiful scores in the American theatre. Acclaimed since its 1963 premiere, and rediscovered in a hit 1993 Broadway revival, this romantic comedy is the story of two lovesick, anonymous pen pals who work together during the day, blissfully unaware that they are writing to each other at night.

Book by Joe Masteroff
Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick
Music by Jerry Bock
Based on a play by Miklos Laszlo

Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock's credits include the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning Fiorello!, Fiddler on the Roof, The Apple Tree, Tenderloin, The Rothchilds and Cyrano The Musical. Joe Masteroff's credits include writing the book for the Kander and Ebb musicals Cabaret and 70, Girls, 70.

She Loves Me is the first major musical production by the Huntington Theatre in six years, and the final directing assignment for Nicholas Martin in his role as Artistic Director.

About Huntington Theatre Company: Boston University Theatre - Main Stage:

Designed and constructed as America's first civic playhouse, the building today known as the Boston University Theatre was the first tax-exempt theatre established in the nation. Construction having begun in 1923, it was formally opened with Sheridan's The Rivals on November 10‚ 1925. The architect was J. Williams Beal Sons.

In October 1953, Boston University purchased the facility, and the vision which had initially created the theatre again began to be realized. The School of Theatre Arts at the Boston University College of Fine Arts has now used the theatre as its primary facility for performance, design, and technical production for three decades.
