ohoho i found new stuff

this time it’s the playbill for the 1963 She Loves Me tryouts!! (parts of it at least)

She Loves Me - 1963 Tryout Playbill - Google Drive

There is a plethora of information in here, but the soundtrack is especially interesting

many of the songs present in the composer’s demo were still in the show at this point, but there are a few oddballs.

major changes (all comparisons are with the original 1963 broadway production and the 1963 demo recordings)

firstly, because ‘vanilla ice cream’ was not yet part of the show (at this point having its place taken by ‘the gift of magic’), the song reprised at the end of the show was instead ‘no more candy’. in the final version of the reprise, Georg recites Amalia’s letter from ‘ice cream’, revealing to her that he is Dear Friend. I wonder how this would have played out with ‘no more candy’ as the song being reprised?

there is also ‘seasonal pleasures’ which is present where ‘letters’ would eventually be. this song is not present in the demos, but i assume would probably have served the same purpose as ‘letters’, showing the passage of time and setting up Georg and Amalia’s upcoming date. there always seems to be another version of ‘letters’! (this brings the total to four!)

minor changes

the second reprise of ‘good morning, good day’ seems to have been cut by this point, but not the first one. huh.

‘days gone by’ comes before ‘sounds while selling’ for some reason.

‘will he like me?’ is directly after ‘i don’t know his name’, instead of after ‘goodbye georg’.

and i think that’s everything!

AIGHT

I finally watched the 1978 BBC television adaptation of She Loves Me

So now I have ✨opinions✨

ok first of all i love peter sallis he’s my favourite performance in this whole thing

i don’t really feel one way or the other about the other actors but he is PERFECT as sipos

anyway they got the candyman from willy wonka to play the headwaiter-

the actors look at the camera A LOT in this show

like georg stares at you for a solid twenty seconds during the titular number

something I noticed was that the backing music in the scene where the investigator enters the store was Hello Love? the cut song?? in the 2016 revival it was Days Gone By (which was entirely cut from this abridged adaptation)

I still really wish that Hello Love as a song was kept in the show, I don’t entirely know why it was cut in the first place

anyway it’s time for

✨THINGS THAT I FOUND FUNNIER THAN I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE✨

first up is arpad’s awfully elegant pose™

i love how much his pose varies between productions

because sometimes it’s relatively normal and then there’s this

speaking of arpad, he spills a bottle of pills over mr maraczek during try me and there’s a pill on his head for the rest of the scene

did nobody notice? or was it intentional?? they must have done it all in one take OR it was intentional because it’s there the whole time???

just the entire choreography of a trip to the library

look at them go!!

during grand knowing you they keep doing extreme punch-ins on kodaly and he looks SO DONE

also whatever this is

anyway my conclusion is british broadcasting corporation pretty pretty please release this in high-definition thank you 🩷

aaaaand the She Loves Me tumblr community got approved!!

She Loves Me

Will Wonders Never Cease?

join for silly ramblings about that one musical

[izloveshorses]

one of the lines in she loves me that no one talks about but always always gets me is "i know the kind of home we'd share." not "i can picture it" or "maybe our house would look like this," it's "i know." it's "we'd share." it's so... simple. but it packs so much. like god imagine being like i know what the life we would build together would look like, i want that life so much i'm willing to risk my heart and my dignity for it.

musical theatre challenge: 1/3 costumes | amalia balash in she loves me (2016) 

"SHE LOVES ME was set in the 1930s, which was a period in fashion with a stylish signature. I referenced fashion designers Elsa Schaiparelli and Madeleine Vionnet, whose designs dominated the look of the decade, and contrasted those images with actual photographs of the time to give a feeling of idealized realism and then accented with Art Deco architecture." — Jeff Mahshie, costume designer
