“We are honored to expand the reach of live theater beyond Broadway to audiences everywhere,” said Stewart F. Lane andBonnie Comley, co-founders of BroadwayHD. “This has always been a dream of ours and we are happy to achieve it in less than a year since our launch. Thank you to Roundabout Theatre Company for entrusting us to bring this historic live theater event to BroadwayHD.”
“We are proud to be making Broadway history with ‘She Loves Me,’ the show that launched Roundabout’s Musical Theatre Program in 1993. As a nonprofit institution, this is an incredible opportunity for us to share Scott Ellis’s new Broadway production beyond our subscribers, donors and other ticket buyers for our limited run at Studio 54,” said Todd Haimes, Roundabout Theatre Company’s artistic director. “This groundbreaking partnership with BroadwayHD allows us to bring ‘She Loves Me’ to a large audience throughout the US, and around the globe.”

“She Loves Me” is a musical comedy classic about finding love the good old-fashioned way. It follows Georg (Levi)and Amalia (Benanti), two parfumerie clerks who aren’t quite the best of friends. Constantly bumping heads while on the job, the sparring coworkers can’t seem to find common ground. But little do they know, the anonymous romantic pen pals they have both been falling for happen to be each other! Will love continue to blossom once their identities are finally revealed?
Major support for “She Loves Me” is provided by The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation. “She Loves Me” benefits from Roundabout’s Musical Theatre Fund with lead gifts from The Howard Gilman Foundation and Perry and Marty Granoff.
