SHE LOVES ME
Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
March 10-April 3
West Price Hill

Directed & choreographed by Matthew Wilson
Music direction by Ryan Heinrich

Cast: Erin Donahue as Amalia Balash, Justin Glaser as Steven Kodaly, Rodger Pille as Georg Nowack, Gregory Bossler as Ladislav Sipos, Harold Murphy as Mr. Maraczek, Michelle Wells as Ilona Ritter & Evan Benjamin as Arpad Laszlo
Ensemble: Will Reed, Russ McGee, Jack Manion, Allison Evans, Megan Williams & Courtni Nicolaci

An intimate and touching show, featuring music by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler On The Roof) and book by Joe Masteroff (Cabaret), SHE LOVES ME was nominated for five TONY Awards in 1964, the 1993 Broadway revival won the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical, and the 1994 Critics Circle Award for Best Musical. SHE LOVES ME is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old world elegance.  Set in a 1930’s European perfumery, we meet shop clerks Amalia and Georg, who more often than not, don’t see eye to eye. After both respond to a “lonely hearts advertisement” in the newspaper, they now live for the love letters they exchange, but the identity of their admirers remains unknown. The movies “The Shop AroundThe Corner” and “You’ve Got Mail” are both based on this romantic tale!

As with the instantly-classic animated films in the Shrek series, Shrek The Musical is a hilarious, irreverent and hard-warming story of an outsider gaining acceptance and learning the importance of friendship. Odd as some of the characters may appear, Shrek is also a classic love story told with humor and heart. The Tony Award-winning show was nominated for a total of 8 Tony awards including best score and best book. The magic of the musical is that it satisfies the high expectations of the originals film fans while delivering fresh new material in a top quality Broadway score that appeals to adult audiences and family audiences alike.
