SHE LOVES ME Set for Seattle Musical Theatre December 4-20

From the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning composer and lyricist of Fiddler on the Roof comes the perfect holiday confection, SHE LOVES ME. Based off a play Miklos Laszlo, this warm and classic love story boasts a cheeky book by Joe Masteroff, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and music by Jerry Bock. As a parfumerie in Budapest readies itself for the Christmas rush, a store clerk and a salesgirl are constantly at odds, but are unaware that they are conducting an anonymous romantic correspondence.

With Director Alan Wilkie at the helm, this charming musical is adapted from the Jimmy Stewart film The Shop Around the Corner and the basis for the 1998 movie You've Got Mail. Josh Zimmerman music directs a lovely score featuring musical gems include "Twelve Days 'Til Christmas," "Dear Friend," and "Ice Cream," and Taylor Davis choreographs. SHE LOVES ME plays December 4-20, 2015. Single tickets (starting at $20) are on sale now at www.seattlemusicaltheatre.org
