Theatre Bristol Announces December Auditions for "She Loves Me"

Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia – Theatre Bristol announces December auditions for the musical She Loves Me coming February 7-16 to the Theatre Bristol ARTspace. The community is invited to audition for this award-winning romantic comedy musical inspired by the same story that brought "You've Got Mail" to the screen. In She Loves Me love letters and sardonic wit are exchanged to beautiful music in a 1930s perfumery. Written by Joe Masteroff, with music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, She Loves Me is based on a play by Miklos Laszio.

Show details, audition times, character roles, and rehearsal dates are available at www.TheatreBristol.org/audition.

 "She Loves Me is the third adaptation of the play, Parfumerie by Hungarian playwright, Miklos Laszlo. The first adaptation was the 1940 James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan film, The Shop around the Corner, and the 1949 Judy Garland and Van Johnson musical film, In the Good Old Summertime. The play was later adapted to film once more as the Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks feature, You've Got Mail. The producer, Lawrence Kasha, initiated the idea for the musical and brought the Pulitzer Prize-winning songwriting team of Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock together with playwright, Joe Masteroff."
