Zachary Levi and "She Loves Me" Cast Success
Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2016 5:08 am
I recently had the honor of seeing the musical "She Loves Me" on stage April 10, 2016. It's a fun musical based on the same story that was the basis for "You've Got Mail," starring Zachary Levi, Laura Benanti (who was out sick that day), and my favorite, Jane Krakowski! I really enjoyed the show and was excited to head back to the stage door of the Studio 54!
I lined up behind the barriers with about 30 other fans and waited. First came Nicholas Barasch, who played Arpad, and another member of the ensemble, Andrew Kober. They were happy to sign for us.
Next came Laura Shoop, who had done a wonderful job of filling in for Ms. Benanti--you'd never have known she wasn't the actual lead! Everyone complimented her as she signed.
Then came Zachary Levi. As I've read is his process, he greeted the crowd and set up his phone and some speakers, saying, "If you guys are going to stand here for so long, you might as well enjoy some music!" Later, he asked why we weren't dancing! He told us not to ask for photos, as he'd be going down the line once to sign and a second time to do photos. He was very kind and very funny! He kindly signed both my playbill and a photo.
Unfortunately, Jane Krakowski didn't come out, but it was still cool to see her perform live (she was awesome!), and to meet Zachary Levi! A really fun afternoon!
