She Loves Me on the PGT Mainstage

She Loves Me

The Lonely Hearts Club has never been funnier!

A witty and effervescent romantic comedy by the writers of Fiddler on the Roof, She Loves Me just might be the most charming musical ever written!

In a 1930s European perfumery, two sales clerks spar endlessly, saving their sweetest words for an anonymous pen pal. Unbeknownst to them, however, their “dear friend” just happens to be each other! Based on Miklós László’s play Parfumerie, which has inspired many adaptations, including The Shop Around The Corner with Jimmy Stewart and You've Got Mail starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, She Loves Me is filled with humor, heart, and a touch of old world elegance. With handwritten letters, mistaken identity, and unexpected romance, She Loves Me is the perfect antidote to your 2025 blues!

Fall in love with She Loves Me at PGT this season!
