She Loves Me joins Present Laughter (November 3), Indecent (November 19), and Holiday Inn (November 24, and also from Roundabout) as part of PBS’s Broadway’s best lineup, directed for television by Emmy Award-winner David Horn, executive producer of both Great Performances and THIRTEEN’s local Theater Close-Up series. All four titles are productions by the theater streaming service BroadwayHD in association with THIRTEEN PRODUCTIONS LLC for WNET.
She Loves Me was the first Broadway musical ever to stream live during a performance at Roundabout Theatre Company’s Studio 54. In the musical, Tony Award® winner Laura Benanti and Tony Award® nominee Zachary Levi star as Amalia and Georg, two parfumerie clerks who aren’t quite the best of friends. Constantly bumping heads while on the job, the sparring coworkers can’t seem to find common ground. But little do they know, the anonymous romantic pen pals they have both been falling for happen to be each other. Will love continue to blossom once their identities are finally revealed?
Critics unanimously embraced this latest production. Mark Kennedy of Associated Press, for one, remarked, “An astounding cast, a nifty story and memorable songs turn this revival into a celebration of classic musical construction.”
For BroadwayHD this performance of She Loves Me was produced by Stewart F. Lane and Bonnie Comley and captured by BroadwayHD in June 2016, in association with Ellen M. Krass Productions, Inc. and THIRTEEN PRODUCTIONS LLC FOR WNET. It was directed for television by David Horn.
Part of Roundabout’s 50th Anniversary Season, She Loves Me also starred Byron Jennings (Maraczek), Gavin Creel (Kodaly), Tom McGowan (Sipos) and Jane Krakowski (Ilona) with Nicholas Barasch (Arpad) and Peter Bartlett (Head Waiter).
The production was directed by Tony Award® nominee Scott Ellis, choreographed by Warren Carlyle with musical direction by Paul Gemignani. This classic musical comedy features a book by Joe Masteroff, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and music by Jerry Bock.
This marks the second presentation of She Loves Me on Great Performances which aired a well-remembered British studio version starring Robin (“Poldark”) Ellis and Gemma (“The Slipper and the Rose”) Craven which delighted viewers.
The celebrated score features favorites such as “Vanilla Ice Cream,” “A Romantic Atmosphere,” “Dear Friend,” and “She Loves Me.” The musical is based on a play by Miklos Laszlo, whose well-known romantic story was the basis for the 1940 James Stewart film “The Shop Around the Corner,” the 1949 Judy Garland and Van Johnson musical “In the Good Old Summertime,” and the 1998 Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan film “You’ve Got Mail.”
Roundabout’s Associate Artistic Director Scott Ellis previously directed Roundabout’s ten-time Tony nominated revival of “She Loves Me” in 1993, which marked the first Broadway musical in the company’s history and launched the Musical Theatre Program at Roundabout.
The production started previews on February 19, 2016 and with the official opening on March 17, 2016. The creative team includes David Rockwell (sets), Jeff Mahshie (costumes), Don Holder (Lights), Jon Weston (Sound), Larry Hochman (Orchestrations), David Krane (Dance Arrangements & Incidental Music).

I never realized how brilliant 1:12 is. That takes serious diction.
2:47 had me SHOOK
Those are the cutest danged pajamas.
I know! I can't find them ANYWHERE! If anyone knows of a pattern or website where I can find some like these, Please help a girl out ;)
My highschool did this show and every time the high note came along I was always shocked by how high and good it sounded like every rehearsal and every show I sat back stage like dayum
She is the most talented of her generation for sure! So funny, and believable! Super Great on Nashville too!!! WOHOO Laura!
I’ve watched this twice on tv (my mom has it saved) and it’s one of my favorites 😁
I've watched it AT LEAST 5 times 😬😂
How do you save it?
can you share the video to a peasant like me from asia? Thanks!
I wish the Broadway stars would do opera album Tribute... So many beautiful voices.
AMEN
I was so lucky to see this live in NYC! This is beautifully filmed!!! This is my favorite song!!
I saw this play at my university in Texas. This character was played by a much older lady and it actually added a mrs. Robinson type of vibe to the story implying an impossible love. That was a nice touch.
Her high note was perfect
This musical is so damn cute. Seriously. I'm going to get diabetes.
Barbara Cook introduced this song that became her signature song with Till there was you .Laura Benanti is a very.talented Soprano and sings it very well .In 2015 she presented Barbara Cook saying that if there were a soprano island Barbara Cook should have the leading room.Laura is with Kelli O Hara Audra Mc Donald Sierra Boggess Laura Osnes and few others are today the great sopranos .
Totally agree, but you forgot about Kristin Chenoweth!
Completely agreed. And Benanti IS superb. But speaking as a 72 year old man, who in the spring of 1963, as a 12 year old boy, was taken to see the original Broadway production of "She Loves Me," I still believe the honor of the best rendition belongs to the songs originator, whom I had the pleasure of seeing in concert almost 20 times, the Divine Miss Barbara Cook.
I actually find Chenoweth to be a little screechy at times.
Please add the late Marin Mazzie and the late Rebecca Luker, two wonderful women and great sopranos I was lucky to meet. As well as Audra McDonald, another great soprano.
her voice is so gorgeous. they don’t make em like her anymore.
Literally any soprano in musical theatre sounds like this lol
@@colonyofrats4193 I think Laura is something special.
@@colonyofrats4193 Untrue. Her soprano is much fuller than most Broadway sopranos today, and unique too. You could point out her voice in a lineup.
@@colonyofrats4193 No, it takes the skills of a belter, soprano, and incredible actor to ace this song
My mom's favorite! Imma show this to her so she can sing it (and my dad lol)
Beautiful.

Dear friend
I am so sorry about last night
It was a nightmare in every way
But together you and I will laugh at last night someday
Ice cream
He brought me ice cream!
Vanilla ice cream!
Imagine that!
Ice cream, and for the first time
We were together without a spat!
Friendly
He was so friendly
That isn't like him
I'm simply stunned
Will wonders never cease?
Will wonders never cease?
It's been a most peculiar day!
Will wonders never cease?
Will wonders never cease?
Oh, where was I?
I am so sorry about last night
It was a nightmare in every way
But together you and I will laugh at last night someday!
I sat there waiting in that café
And never guessing that you were fat... oh!
That you were near
You were outside looking bold... oh, no!
Dear Friend
I am so sorry about last night
Last night I was so nasty!
Well, he deserved it, but even so
That George is not like this George
This is a new George that I don't know
Somehow it all reminds me of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
When right before my eyes
A man that I despise has turned into a man I like!
It's almost like a dream, as strange as it may seem
He came to offer me vanilla ice cream
I believe it’s actually “you were outside looking so bald”
IDOL
Also, she was in Law & Order:SVU!
5 people haven't yet finished Anna Karenina.
Who's here because of lea's vanilla ice cream 🍦
Oh Hey, Melania is talented! Maybe she did deserve that genius visa :p
”Caro amigo,
Lamento tanto o que aconteceu
Nossa conversa me constrangeu
Mas estou certa que algum dia,
Riremos disso você e eu”
Ele trouxe sorvete
E era de creme
Não pude crer
E nós, nós nem brigamos
Nós conversamos sem ofender
Fofo, ele foi fofo
Eu tô passada
Porque foi bom
Não dá pra acreditar
Não dá pra acreditar
Que dia mais peculiar
Não dá pra acreditar
Não dá pra acreditar
Onde eu tava?
“Lamento tanto o que aconteceu
Nossa conversa me constrangeu
Mas estou certa que algum dia,
Riremos disso você e eu
Eu me sentei naquele café
Nem percebi que estava gordo
Não! Que estava perto…
Que estava perto e tão careca”
Ai meu deus!
“Caro amigo,
Lamento tanto o que aconteceu...”
Ontem eu fui tão rude
Foi merecido
Mas, mesmo assim
Esse não é o Jorge
É outro Jorge
Novo pra mim
Isso até me lembra
Aquele filme “O Médico e o Monstro”
Pois bem na minha frente
Um ser intransigente
Virou o homem que eu gostei
Quem ia imaginar
Que iria me alegrar
Pois trouxe para mim
Sorvete de: CREME !!
The ending sounds so much like "glitter and be gay" from candide
2:46
Beautiful performance! Does anyone know what key she is singing this by chance?
Assuming this is the same key as the cast recording (I don’t have perfect pitch or a piano nearby, sorry)?
D Major
The letter parts are in G and the verses are in E!
Someone PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I CAN WATCH THE FULL THING

1:17-3:00
Why's she writing on the cover of the book?
I believe there's a piece of paper in front. She's just using the book as a surface to lean on.
Came here because of Lea Salonga's performance.
Fluttery vibrato and shrill high note, no thx!
Take off your troll-o-phones and she'll sound better.
@@Muttonchop_USA get a minimum of knowledge about singing.
