For
those with a love of the theater, this year’s musical production of She Loves Me might just be that holiday
gem you’ve been looking forward to. Based on the play by Miklos Laszlo, She Loves Me centers around two feuding
clerks in a European perfumery during the 1930’s that find consolation from
their anonymous romantic pen pals. Unbeknownst to them, their pen pals are
actually each other! Uproarious, smart and sentimental, this romantic comedy is
perfect for those looking to laugh while also getting a nice touch of holiday
nostalgia. Featuring music and lyrics by the creative team of Fiddler on the Roof and directed by the
acclaimed Gavin Mayer, She Loves Me is sure to please. Tickets range from $36
to $73 and performances go through to December 21st.
