SBMT is thrilled to announce the cast for our winter production of She Loves Me. Ben Hatch, who played Huckleberry Finn last season in Big River, returns as leading man Georg, a perfume shop employee who feuds with new saleswoman Amalia, played by Marie Putko. As fate would have it, the bickering colleagues respond to one another’s “lonely hearts” ads in the newspaper and develop feelings for their anonymous-yet-amorous personas.
If the plot sounds familiar, you may be thinking of the 1998 movie, You’ve Got Mail, with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan—or the classic film The Shop Around The Corner. Take this storyline and then add music by Fiddler on the Roof composer Jerry Bock and lyrics by Cabaret author Sheldon Harnick, and you have what has been described as “the most charming musical ever written.”
Michael Johnson, last seen in Big River as Pap Finn, plays shop owner Mr. Maraczek, who has relationship problems of his own.
