About the Show
When the locals in a small Russian hamlet learn that an undercover government inspector
is coming for a surprise visit, an unfortunate case of mistaken identity sends the
whole village spiraling into a world of panic and greed. Witty, smart and wildly satirical,
this timely and spirited adaptation of Nikolai Gogol’s classic play exposes the corruption
of a provincial town with biting hilarity.
A brilliant new adaptation of Gogol’s comic masterpiece.
“…a comedy of galumphing, harrumphing hilarity. One part farce, one part slapstick, with a dash of musical theater, this naughty, frothy play is wholly entertaining…[A] clever, fearless script…[The] characters feel contemporary in a show where official ignorance and incompetence are compounded by corruption and hubris.” —The Star Tribune (Minneapolis).
“A first-rate farce…Hatcher is an inspired choice to take a fresh run at this material, not least because his writing is so consistently deft and funny, swinging wildly in tone from one line to the next…a mountain of firecracker witticisms.” —CityPages.
About the Show
In this scented case of mistaken identity and letter writing, two feuding perfume clerks have no idea that they are in love.
An intimate and touching show, featuring music by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof) and book by Joe Masteroff (Cabaret), She Loves Me was nominated for five Tony Awards in 1964. The 1993 Broadway revival won the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical and the 1994 Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, while the 2016 Broadway Revival snagged the Tony Award for Best Scenic Design (beating Hamilton!). Considered by many to be the most charming musical ever written, She Loves Me is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old-world elegance.
