Since I’m pressed
for time, I’m
not going to say a lot about the revival of She Loves Me because once you
note that it has been
given a lovely production, acted brilliantly and directed superbly
(by Scott Ellis, his
second shot at it, after a lovely but not
quite as lovely [and successful] go at it in
1994),
what’s there to say? It’s that classic jewel box of a
musical—book: Joe
Masteroff, music: Jerry
Bock, lyrics: Sheldon Harnick—based
on that charming Hungarian play—Parfumerie by Miklós
Lásló—and the cast
features such as Laura
Benanti, Zachery Levi, Jane
Krakowski
and Gavin Creel. For starters.
If
you know the show, this iteration will make you deliriously happy.
If
you don’t, I daresay you’ll be discovering it in the definitive
production.
