We are pleased to announce Gavin Creel as "Steven Kodaly", Tony Award® winner Jane Krakowski as "Ilona Ritter", three-time Tony nominee Kelli O'Hara as "Amalia Balas", Josh Radnor as "Georg", Peter Bartlett as "Headwaiter", Tony nominee Michael McGrath as "Ladislav Sipos", Tony nominee Rory O'Malley as "Arpad Laszlo" and four-time Tony nominee Victor Garber as "Mr. Maraczek" leading an all-star cast in a one-night only performance of She Loves Me. The romantic musical comedy features a book by Joe Masteroff (Cabaret), music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof).
She Loves Me will also feature Jane Brockman, Rachel de Benedet, Rebecca Eichenberger, Gina Ferrall, Rob Lorey, Jeffrey Schecter, Jessica Vosk, Jim Walton.
The benefit concert reading will take place on Monday, December 5th, 2011 at 7:30PM at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre (124 West 43rd Street).
Director Scott Ellis (She Loves Me, 1776, Curtains) will direct the evening as a celebration of Roundabout's 20th anniversary of producing on Broadway which began in 1991 at the Criterion Center in Times Square. Roundabout's 1993 Broadway revival of She Loves Me, also directed by Ellis, began life at the Criterion Center and launched Roundabout's Musical Theatre program. It was nominated for nine Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical, Best Director and Best Choreography (Rob Marshall) and the four major acting awards. It also won the 1994 Drama Desk award for Outstanding Musical Revival. With She Loves Me, Roundabout began the process of becoming one of the largest and most celebrated producers of musicals on Broadway with highlights including Cabaret, 1776, Nine, Assassins, The Pajama Game, Sunday in the Park with George and the current 2011 Tony Award winning production of Anything Goes.
She Loves Me will feature musical staging by JoAnn M. Hunter and musical director Paul Gemignani will lead a 15-member orchestra with orchestrations by Don Walker.
This classic musical follows Amalia (O'Hara) and Georg (Radnor), two feuding clerks in a European parfumerie during the 1930's who secretly find solace in their anonymous romantic pen pals, little knowing their respective correspondents are actually each other. Bock & Harnick's gorgeous score includes "Tonight at Eight", "Will He Like Me?", "Vanilla Ice Cream" and "She Loves Me".

Wow! What a treasure! Getting to hear Gavin Creel and Kelly O'Hara sing this terrific score is a real treat.

I quite like Josh Radnor's voice here (haven't heard him anywhere else). But I'm so glad that Zachary Levi got to play Georg on Broadway! He is absolutely charming)

For nearly two years, I've been circularly watching the British version aired by PBS in 1978, so it's great that this is on KZfaq, so there's an audio transcript of the original dialogue. Thank you for presenting it, Mr. Sale.

Fell in love with this show the moment I heard the original broadway cast album in 1963. Nobody sings "Ice Cream" like Barbara Cook.

Dare I say it, I honestly prefer Kelli O’Hara’s take on Amalia rather than Laura Benanti. I think it’s mainly because of her voice and the way she plays the character.
