ON THE STAGE
Jacqui Robbins directs the Penny Seats,
Ann Arbor's new-ish local theater com-
pany, in a production of She Loves Me,
the 1963 Sheldon Harnick-Jerry Bock
(Fiddler on the Roof) musical comedy
with a book by Joe Masteroff. The
script was adapted from Miklos Laszlo's
play Parfumerie, set in pre-World War
II Budapest, as two rival employees of
a perfume shop become unwitting pen
pals in a romantic correspondence.
Parfumerie also was the basis for Ernst
Lubitsch's 1940 classic film, The Shop
Around the Corner, 1949's musical film
version, In the Good Old Summertime;
and Nora Ephron's more recent Internet
version, 1998's You've Got Mail.
"The comedy is just priceless and
experiencing it outdoors on a summer
evening will create a particularly idyllic
and inviting atmosphere says Penny
Seats President Lauren London.
She Loves Me will be presented at 7
p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays, July 26-28,
Aug. 2-4 and 9-11, at the West Park Band
Shell at Ann Arbor's West Park, between
Miller and West Huron. Tickets are $10
(age 12 and younger admitted for $7)
online and at the gate. The Penny Seats is
partnering with What's Cooking to offer
picnic dinners for pre-order. Info and
tickets: (734) 276-2832; pennyseats.org .
