Weaver, is a classic love story, and in fact, may be <em>the<\/em> classic love story. Showing March 17-26, this Tony Award-winning musical will play on the Theatre UCF Main Stage.<\/p>\n<p>Adapted from the play <em>Parfumerie<\/em> by Miklos Laszlo, <em>She Loves Me<\/em> is set in a 1930\u2019s perfume shop located in Budapest, Hungary. Two of the characters, Amalia Balash and Georg Nowack, played by Sunny Gay and Terry Farley, are bickering perfume shop employees. Both of them have pen pals, but neither knows who their secret friends are and the answer may surprise audiences. The musical is written by Joe Masteroff, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a family-friendly, romantic, feel-good musical that is easy to understand,\u201d Weaver says.<\/p>\n<p><em>She Loves Me<\/em> is a both a comedy and a romance that speaks to all generations. Several screen versions of the story have been made, including the popular 1998 film <em>You\u2019ve Got Mail<\/em> starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. First premiering in 1963, this musical is \u201calmost historical,\u201d actress Sunny Gay says. And as the lead performer playing the part of Amalia, Gay would know best. \u201cResearching the characteristics of the time period like the movements, makeup, even the language itself, is an interesting challenge,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the musical itself, the actual design of the stage will be a treat for audiences to view. Figuring out how to best use the physical size of the theatre has always been an experiment in creativity, but Theatre UCF found a way. \u201cWe\u2019ve created a revolving set with different scenes on each side, as the stage turns, so do the settings. And there will be movable walls next to the stage that will reveal scenes, as well.\u201d Weaver says.<\/p>\n<p>For Gay, playing the lead part of Amalia is a dream come true and she wants to share this musical with audiences. \u201cThis is a great experience for me to have before graduating and I\u2019m excited to show everyone our hard work and share this eternally relatable story,\u201d Gay says. For a light-hearted night of entertainment, <em>She Loves Me <\/em>will have audience members singing its praises.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Event at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>She Loves Me <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Book by Joe Masteroff<\/p>\n<p>Music by Jerry Bock, Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick<\/p>\n<p>Based on a play by Miklos Laszlo<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Earl Weaver<\/p>\n<p>Dates: March 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26 at 8 p.m., March 20, 26 at 2 p.m. (note: the second matinee is on a Saturday.)<\/p>\n<p>Price: $20 standard, $18 senior, $10 student<\/p>\n<p>Location: Theatre, Main Stage (107)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"She Loves Me, directed by associate professor and artistic director Earl D.
