Earlier this month I saw the critically acclaimed Roundabout production of the musical She Loves Me. This revival of a 1963 adaptation of The Shop Around The Corner story is enchanting and has several likable characters and musical numbers that are wonderful and witty. Jane Krakowski plays the bubbly supporting character Ilona Ritter, and knocks it out of the park with a performance that involves rapid fire humor and quick on your feet physical work (she even does the splits.) While the premise and ending are predictable, the jokes and songs will make any person laugh and applaud upon curtain call.
Next week I will be viewing and reviewing The Shop Around The Corner, and I anticipate enjoying it as much as the live show.
UPDATE: She Loves Me will be the first Broadway musical to be streamed live online: https://www.broadwayhd.com/index.php/deliverable/r/she_loves_me_live. I highly recommend you check it out!
