Scoop yourself a bowl of ice cream, dab on some perfume, and make sure you’re in a “romantic atmosphere” dear friends, because in this episode, we’re delving into the musical “She Loves Me.” This show is one of several reincarnations of the 1937 play Parfumerie by Hungarian playwright Miklós László. (You might remember another popular adaptation — the film You've Got Mail, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.) “She Loves Me” premiered back in 1963 and was revived in 2016, and it became the very first Broadway show to be live-streamed. It follows the story of two feuding perfume shop employees who unknowingly find solace in each other as secret pen pals, and they inevitably, hilariously fall in love.

So do WE love HER? Yes, we most assuredly DO!
