She Loves Me is the first of four musicals for Back Alley Musicals’ 2016-17 season, which opens Nov. 10.
Constantly at odds with each other while on the job, sparring co-workers Georg (Justin Miller) and Amalia (Alisa Hamilton) are unaware that each is the other’s secret pen pal they met through lonely-hearts ads. Through their letters, they have been falling for each other. But, will love continue to blossom once their identities are revealed? Adding to the intrigue are Steven Kodaly (Calvin Malone) and Ilona Ritter (Loré Renner North) and other fellow employees of Maraczek’s Parfumerie in Budapest in the 1930s. The show was first staged on Broadway in 1963.
Calvin Malone and Justin Miller are glad to be rejoining the BAM cast after recent professional acting
engagements with regional theatre groups. Alisa Hamilton and Loré Renner North have many BAM roles to their credit as well.
The musical is set for Nov. 10-13 in the Jody Berry Theatre, RiverPark Center, Owensboro, KY. Evening performances on Thursday through Saturday nights will be at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday matinees will be at 2 p.m.
Calvin Malone is also directing the musical comedy along with artistic director Ron Waite, while Corey Cellurale is the show’s music director. Music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and book by Joe Masteroff. Basis: Miklos Laszio’s play Parfumerie.
