She Loves Me
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. 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.

Lauren Wright, Peter Wickliffe, and Patrick Massey in She Loves Me
She Loves Me at Oregon Cabaret Theatre is another winner in a long string of successful shows for the company, which continues to move from strength to strength under the steady leadership of Valerie Rachelle and Rick Robinson. It’s the perfect aperitif for the upcoming holiday season.
Sumptuously silly, delightfully daffy and just one heck of a fun time. She Loves Me the holiday musical that’s playing through Dec. 31 at the Oregon Cabaret Theatre in Ashland, is something that should be on everyone’s Christmas wish list.
Director Valerie Rachelle brings the show to fresh life with a tight mix of verbal and physical comedy and a talented cast.
She Loves Me is an old-fashioned charmer where love is advanced by paper and pen, with an envelope and stamp, as well as a holiday-inspired performance in which the players find love, satisfaction, success and their just deserts.
