'''''She Loves Me''''' is a [[musical theatre|musical]] with a book by [[Joe Masteroff]], music by [[Jerry Bock]], and lyrics by [[Sheldon Harnick]].
The
The musical premiered on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] in 1963 and ran for 301 performances, was produced in the [[West End theatre|West End]] in 1964, and received award-winning revivals on each side of the Atlantic in the 1990s (as well as numerous regional productions). Although the original Broadway run was not a financial success, ''She Loves Me'' slowly became a cult classic, and the massively successful 2016 Broadway revival became the first Broadway show ever to be [[live-streamed]].
==Synopsis==
===Act One===
On a beautiful summer day in Budapest in 1934, the employees of Maraczek's Parfumerie arrive at work ("Good Morning, Good Day"). Working at the shop are Ladislav Sipos, a fretful middle-aged salesman with a family; teenage delivery boy Arpad Laszlo; thirty-something Ilona Ritter, who is having an affair with suave Steven Kodaly; and Georg Nowack, the shy assistant manager. Mr. Maraczek arrives to open the store, and soon business is under way ("Sounds While Selling"/"Thank You, Madam"). Georg has been exchanging letters with an anonymous woman he knows only as "Dear Friend", and he shares today's romantic letter with Sipos. Maraczek advises Georg to get married and recalls being a bachelor ("Days Gone By").
Arpad begins stocking the shelves with a new musical cigarette case. Mr. Maraczek insists that they will manage to sell one within an hour. A nervous young woman, Amalia Balash, enters, hoping to obtain a job at the Parfumerie. When Georg tells her they are not hiring, she demands to speak with Maraczek. Amalia takes one of the cigarette cases and convinces a customer that it is really a musical candy box that plays each time it is opened to gently tell the owner "no more candy" ("No More Candy"). Maraczek is impressed and immediately hires Amalia.
As summer turns into autumn and then into the early days of winter, tension grows in the shop. Ilona and Kodaly are at odds, Mr. Maraczek is increasingly short-tempered with Georg, and Georg and Amalia bicker constantly. Georg finds solace in his anonymous romantic pen pal, not suspecting that his correspondent is none other than Amalia ("Three Letters"). Their fellow employees observe their bickering, and Sipos explains to Arpad that they argue because they unknowingly like each other very much. Arpad naively suggests they tell Georg and Amalia this, and Sipos retorts that they'd never believe it. Finally, in early December, the two "Dear Friends" arrange to meet in person.
Maraczek humiliatingly dresses down Georg for a minor problem. Georg tells Sipos that tonight he will finally meet his "dear friend" ("Tonight At Eight"). Meanwhile, Amalia explains to Ilona that even though she has not met her "dear friend" yet, she knows him very well from his letters ("I Don't Know His Name").
Mr. Maraczek and Georg argue, and when it becomes obvious that Maraczek is about to fire Georg, Sipos knocks over the stack of musical cigarette boxes to distract him. Maraczek reprimands Sipos and leaves. Sipos tells Georg that no replacement would treat him as well as Georg does ("Perspective"). Maraczek insists that everyone stay late to decorate for Christmas, but Amalia says she must leave early for her date. Georg asks to leave too, but Mr. Maraczek refuses to let him go. Georg angrily quits, and the other employees sadly say goodbye to Georg ("Goodbye Georg"). Amalia leaves clutching a copy of ''[[Anna Karenina]]'' with a rose in it so that her "dear friend" will be able to identify her. She wonders if "dear friend" will like her ("Will He Like Me?") Meanwhile, inside the shop, Kodaly begins seducing Ilona ("Ilona"). They make a date, but when Mr. Maraczek insists they must close the store early, Kodaly realizes that he has time for a 9:30 date that he previously scheduled. He postpones his date with Ilona, and she angrily declares that she will never fall for a man like him again ("I Resolve"). Georg is nervous and asks Sipos to give "dear friend" a note explaining that Georg could not come.
Mr. Maraczek's private investigator enters the shop and tells him that Kodaly is having an affair with his wife. Maraczek had assumed it was Georg. The investigator leaves, and Maraczek's wife calls to say she'll be out late. Maraczek points a gun at his own head and pulls the trigger as Arpad enters the shop. Meanwhile, in the Cafe Imperiale, the head waiter is trying to maintain a romantic atmosphere as Amalia waits with her book and rose ("Romantic Atmosphere"). Georg and Sipos enter and are shocked to realize that Amalia is Georg's date; however, Amalia does not know Georg is her "dear friend". Georg sits at Amalia's table and mocks her, singing a "Tango Tragique" about a woman who was murdered on a blind date (this song has been cut in later productions). They argue, and Georg leaves. As the cafe closes, Amalia, still waiting, begs "dear friend" not to abandon her ("Dear Friend").
===Act Two===
The next day, Mr. Maraczek has survived his suicide attempt, and Arpad comes to visit him in the hospital. Maraczek is impressed with Arpad's hard work in his absence, and Arpad begs to be promoted to sales clerk ("Try Me"). Georg also stops by, and Maraczek apologizes and asks him to return to his job. Maraczek tells Georg to fire Kodaly and mentions that Amalia has called in sick.
Georg is worried about Amalia and visits her at her apartment. She fears he has come to spy on her and tell the others she is not really sick, so she attempts to get out of bed and get ready for work ("Where's My Shoe"). Georg, seeing she is truly sick, forces her back to bed and presents her with a gift: vanilla ice cream. He apologizes for his rudeness the previous night, but Amalia tells him that he was right about her date; if "dear friend" really loved her, he would have come. Georg, meaning well, makes up a story that he saw an older, bald, fat gentleman looking into the cafe. Georg says the man told him that he had to work and could not meet his date, and Georg surmises that he must be her "dear friend". Amalia is surprised to find she enjoys her conversation with Georg. After he leaves, she begins a letter to "dear friend" but can only think of Georg's kindness and his gift ("Vanilla Ice Cream").
Georg joyously realizes that Amalia loves him ("She Loves Me"). At Maraczek's, Ilona explains to Sipos that she has gotten over Kodaly; last night, she went to the library where she met Paul, a kindly optometrist ("A Trip to the Library"). Kodaly bids everyone goodbye ("Grand Knowing You"). With Christmas fast approaching, the employees are busy helping last-minute shoppers, and Georg and Amalia enjoy each other's company ("Twelve Days to Christmas"). On Christmas Eve, Amalia tells Georg she has invited "dear friend" to spend the evening with her and her mother. She invites Georg as well, and he hesitatingly accepts. Mr. Maraczek returns to the shop for a happy reunion, and Ilona announces her plans to accept Paul's proposal that night, even though he does not know he is going to propose yet. Sipos leaves to join his family's Christmas party, and Maraczek takes Arpad for a night on the town.
Georg helps Amalia with her packages as she leaves the shop, and they accidentally drop one of the musical cigarette boxes. Amalia intends to give it to "dear friend", but Georg says he really would like it; it will remind him of the day he first met her. He admits that he always thought Amalia was the sort of girl he could fall in love with. Amalia confesses to having similar feelings, and Georg takes one of Amalia's letters to "dear friend" out of his pocket and begins reading it aloud. Amalia finally understands that Georg really is "dear friend" and they kiss ("Finale").

==Productions==
Producer [[Lawrence Kasha]] brought the three writers together.
=== Original Broadway production ===
The musical premiered on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] on April 23, 1963, at the [[Eugene O'Neill Theatre]] not long after the settlement of the four-month-long [[1962–1963 New York City newspaper strike]]. Nevertheless, the show managed to run for 302 performances. The musical was directed by [[Harold Prince]] and [[choreographed]] by [[Carol Haney]], with the cast that featured [[Daniel Massey (actor)|Daniel Massey]] as Georg Nowack, [[Barbara Cook]] as Amalia Balash, [[Barbara Baxley]] as Ilona Ritter, [[Jack Cassidy]] as Stephen Kodaly, Nathaniel Frey as Ladislav Sipos, Ralph Williams as Arpad Laszlo, and [[Ludwig Donath]] as Mr. Maraczek. The romantic, old fashioned show was short on big song and dance numbers, and the Eugene O'Neill Theatre was too small to generate a big profit.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}} A two-record [[cast album|original cast recording]] was released by [[MGM Records]]<ref>''She Love Me'', MGM E 41180C-2</ref> and subsequently re-released on CD on the [[Polydor]] label in 1987.
=== West End production ===
The [[West End theatre|West End]] production opened on April 29, 1964, at the [[Lyric Theatre (London)|Lyric Theatre]], where it ran for 189 performances. The cast included [[Gary Raymond]], [[Rita Moreno]], [[Anne Rogers]] and [[Gary Miller (singer)|Gary Miller]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Show History & Awards: She Loves Me |url=http://www.mtishows.com/show_history.asp?ID=000141 |website=MTIShows.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080106201321/http://www.mtishows.com/show_history.asp?ID=000141 |archive-date=January 6, 2008}}</ref> A London cast recording was released by [[Angel Records]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.castalbumdb.com/rec.cfm?RNumber=1035 |title=''She Loves Me'' |website=castalbumdb.com}}</ref>
===Faded From View===
After the original Broadway production it was 30 years before a major revival. Critic Arthur Dorman, in a review of a production in 2019, says that it was overshadowed by the big Broadway productions of that time. "But," he says, "a small group of fans kept a flame going for ''She Loves Me'', which was further flamed when the original ''Amalia'', Barbara Cook, became a staple of cabarets and concert stages and made "Vanilla Ice Cream" one of her signature performance pieces."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Minneapolis/St. Paul - "She Loves Me" - 2/2/19 |url=https://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/minn/minn804.html |access-date=2024-02-28 |website=www.talkinbroadway.com}}</ref> Cook began her concert career on January 26, 1975 in Carnegie Hall.

[[MGM]] bought the screen rights for the musical in 1967 with plans to make it into a film starring [[Julie Andrews]] and to be directed by [[Harold Prince]]. After a year of delays, MGM moved forward with the film with a revised production in 1969. Julie Andrews was still set to play Amalia; however [[Blake Edwards]] was now set to direct. [[Dick Van Dyke]] was strongly considered for the role of Georg which would have reunited Andrews and Van Dyke for the first time since ''[[Mary Poppins (film)|Mary Poppins]]'' in 1964. [[Maurice Chevalier]] was among those considered for the role of Maraczek. Production was well underway when [[Kirk Kerkorian]] bought MGM and installed [[James T. Aubrey Jr.]] to run the studio to make sweeping changes.
With a major company restructuring and focus shifting to more youth oriented films, the musical was among the many projects abruptly dropped.
