I Love 'She Loves Me'!
I bought this book recently when I had to perform 'A Trip to the Library' as an audition. I quickly fell in love with this musical, written by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick who also did 'Fiddler on the Roof'! The story is great- There is a Parfumerie where many people work, specifically Amalia and Georg. They bicker all the time, before they realize that they are eachother's secret correspondent. The plot is slightly confusing, and there are several subplots as well. This just makes 'She Loves Me' all the more...lovable! Songs in this book are: Days Gone By, Dear Friend, Grand Knowing You, Ilona, She Loves Me, Tonight at Eight, A Trip to the Library, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Will He Like Me? Vanilla Ice Cream is an amazing soprano piece. And hey, if this interests you, also look into the 'She Loves Me' CD!!!

She loves me is truley Loveable!
This is the vocal selections for she loves me. This is a musical that is based on a book called she loves me. There is also a movie with Judy Garland in it (non musical) (can't think of the title right now) but it is about this lady named Amalia and a man names george. they both work in Maraczeks Parfumerie. George has been writing letters to a "dear friend" as well as amliea . amelia decides to meet her dear friend at a resturant. she is to wear a red rose on her jacket. her freind will also wear a rose. she watis and watis and he never shows up, then goerge from work appears and sits with her. (he is her dear friend but she doesn't know it yet) she accuses him of scaring away her friend. she eventauly finds out that he is her dear friend and they "live happily ever after" the great songs included are: WILL HE LIKE ME, DEAR FRIEND, ICE CREAM*, SHE LOVES ME, A TRIP TO THE LIBRARY, AND ILONA. my favorite is ICE CREAM it is cute song of amelia writing a letter to her dear friend apologising for the horrible evening that never happend. however she can't stop thinking about geroge and how nice he was that he bought her vanilla ice cream to make her feel better. its cute and very funny. a great line from that song is ..."I sat there waiting in that cafe and never guessing that you were fat... that you were near you were outside looking bald...oh my dear friend..." most of the music in this selection is for a soprano woman. A trip to the library is for a mezzo soprano, and there are 2 songs for a tenor man. this is not campy music it is cute make you feel good music. if you want to relate it to a popular singer today think more Nellie Fertato (like a bird song).
