She Loves Me, based on a Miklos Laszlo play, features such tunes as "Dear Friend," "Vanilla Ice Cream," "Will He Like Me?" and the title tune. Set in a Hungarian perfume store in the 1930's, the musical tells the story of two feuding co-workers who don't know they are each other's anonymous and romantic pen-pals.
