She Loves Me” is the musical version of “The Shop Around the Corner,” starring Jimmy Stewart in 1940. The beloved story was re-released in 1998 as “You’ve Got Mail.” In this live, musical version, with a book by Joe Masteroff, music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, we follow Georg & Amalia, while constantly at odds with one another at work, have unknowingly been pen pals through a “lonely hearts” advertisement. As relationships in the shop become strained, the two depend more and more on their letters, eagerly anticipating finally meeting in person. Love, laughter, heartbreak and dreams all come together in this highly energetic musical featuring much loved songs, including “Tonight at Eight,” “Will He Like Me?,” “Vanilla Ice Cream,” “She Loves Me” and more!

While our version ended just as we were heading into production, the students did an amazing job bringing this beautiful and colorful musical and it’s characters to life.
