Stewart F. Lane and Bonnie Comley, co-founders of BroadwayHD expressed, “We are honored to expand the reach of live theater beyond Broadway to audiences everywhere,” said. “This has always been a dream of ours and we are happy to achieve it in less than a year since our launch.

She Loves Me is a touching musical comedy classic about finding true love like they did in the good ole’ days (courting, dating, before facebook and tinder). It follows Georg (Levi) and Amalia (Benanti), two parfumerie clerks who are oceans apart from being best of friends. They constantly bump heads while on the job, and the two characters struggle to find common ground. The twist, however, is that they are each others anonymous romantic pen pals and have been falling for each other, unknowingly all along. Will their relationship blossom once their identities are truly revealed?
