She Loves Me (musical) pt 1

[AvalonMorley]

Oh my gosh!!! What a great Christmas present it is, to have found this by chance. LOVE this score, & story, & I've never gotten to see a production of it. This looks lovely, & I THANK YOU! Can this version be bought commercially? Anyway, I'll be watching this later tonight. Yay!

[cdbob18]

Dream come true! Magical UK TV version of Bway musical classic never released commercially due to legal squabbles. Only shown once in the U.S. via PBS., so thanks bronxmom! These clips must come from off-air homemade VHS copy -- color & audio tweaked to improve the result.. Very rare bootleg now publicly viewable here. Devoted fans owe uploader tremendous gratitude for tracking down a treasure then sharing it with worldwide audience. My own VHS copy can now take a deserved rest.

Robin's blog is robin-ellis(dot)net. It's about life in France and cooking/food/animals.

[DiscerningWon]

Robin Ellis has a Facebook page now where he writes about food & life in rural France. His cookbook comes out in August 2011 in the UK: Delicious Dishes for Diabetics, A Mediterranean Way of Eating.

@DiscerningWon

I just tried finding him and there must be dozens of people named Robin Ellis

[Annaortigara1]

Thanks for the lead on E-Bay..

[Annaortigara1]

So has anyone figured out how to get a copy of the 1978 PBS version? I have seen many productions including the revival on Broadway with Daniel Massey about 17 years ago!!! It is truly a perfect musical.

[bronxmom]

@Annaortigara1

Possibly the same way I did, on E-bay.

[Meredith2335]

Robin Ellis has other hidden talents. He's a keen cook and his first cookbook is being publishing in 2011: Delicious Dishes for Diabetics: A Mediterranean Way of Eating

(Constable & Robinson in the UK, Skyhorse in the USA).

This has to be my favorite musical of all time. It is nearly perfect in structure with an upbeat operatic feeling - Like La Boheme. I produced this with my high school in the 70's, and our ensemble was wonderful. This excellent BBC production is a treasure.

Good morning! Good day! How are you this beautiful day? Isn't this a beautiful morning? Very! :)

[TheSiriusfan]

Oh!! This makes me soooo happy! Thank you for posting it!! I've watched it twice already! How can I get a hold of a copy? I really really want to own this. Thank you again for posting this!!

[suddeymur]

I have never seen it and it looks good.

[WebThang]

Thank you so much! I haven't seen this in years and always wished I could.

[streetwhereulive]

What a great video. Thanks

[Boston2London]

I saw this in Boston on PBS and loved the production. So many actors never get a chance to show off their musical talents. However, I was lucky enough several years ago to see the revival with Ruthy Henshaw as Amalia here in London (Fantastic!!). It is the most lovely and charming (and romantic) story and the music is enchanting.

Where did you get a copy? I would love to own it, as the quality on you tube is not the best - but it is really good to see it again.

[bronxmom]

Years ago on E-bay. I would've loved to have seen Ruthie Henshaw in this role. I saw a clip of her singing "Ice Cream" once and she was fantastic

[bellancanut]

@Boston2London

Have you had any success in obtaining a copy of She Loves Me? If so would you direct me to where I might purchase a copy

Thanks,

Bellancanut

[bronxmom]

@bellancanut I got it on e-bay years ago

[mtepperA]

Thank you for posting this. I love watching it.

[tihejora]

I was looking for a version cause my towns local dram club thing is doing it, and I'm in it as a customer.

[PippyMMM]

THANK YOU for posting this! It is my favorite musical in the world (that hardly anyone knows). I'd kill to play Amalia one day.

[bronxmom]

YOU HAVE AN AMAZING VOICE..I just saw "Fine Fine Line" Brilliant!

[PippyMMM]

Thank you! It's one of my fav songs to sing, I love to tug on the heart strings a little.

[LLbgbbc3]

@PippyMMM

If you're able to make it to Ashland by the end of October, Oregon Shakespeare Festival is doing a production of it this season. It's adorable! :)

[NaturesHeartBeat]

@LLbgbbc3 I am going to OSF this Tuesday to go see the production!

I am very excited considering this is a GREAT musical and OSF puts on absolutely AMAZING shows :)

[BlushingRoses]

OMG!!!! I can't believe I found this! Thank you so much for posting :-D I'm so excited, I can't even tell you!!! I've ALWAYS wanted to see this!

[CDeanWatcher]

Thank you thank you for posting this. I used to have it on video but the tape broke. Can't think why it's not on DVD - its so charming!

[theinfamoustom]

I performed this in highschool many years ago, playing the part of Arpad. Someone had this on tape back then and showed it to me. I've been hunting vigorously for it ever since. Thank you so much for posting this. I'd all but given up on ever seeing it again.

[pjcgatsby]

where'd you get this! i've been looking for this for thirty years. is it for sale somewhere? thanks so much for posting this.

[bronxmom]

On E-bay some years ago...

[pinksugar83]

I've never seen this before -- it's great!

[daryk44]

Shop Around the Corner with Jimmy Stewart FTW!!!!!

Im doing this musical with my school as Kodaly.

[Chriswren9]

A little stagy but a lot of fun!

[bronxmom]

Yes...that's 1970s BBC production values for you!

[VictoriaWinters1991]

Oh but it doesn't matter! This musical is so delightful!

[bronxmom]

It's my hands down favorite..

[65Reasons]

one of the best musicals of all time.

thanks for sharing this.

65R:)

[bronxmom]

Yes..I actually caught that! (I used to work with an European born lady who would humbly proclaim herself to be "just an ordinary clark" every once in a while and my other co-workers would tell her she was mispronouncing the word in their Noo Yawk accents...)

[ITCJon]

Interesting lyric re-write - Original lyric: "Wouldn't it be something if we all took off from work

Leaving Mr. Maraczek without a single clerk"

But in England, "clerk" is pronounced "clark", so it wouldn'trhyme with "work".

[KomKai352]

Thank you for posting this! I just bought the CD, and now I get to watch the musical, too!

[mistresspat7]

Never seen or heard of this. Enjoyed it very much no idea Robin Ellis from Poldark could sing. Thank you. P.S now if only someone would download the film 'Why not stay for Breakfast' with Gemma Craven i'd really appreciate that.

[bronxmom]

Sure...this was one of my all time faves. I searched for over 20 years to find a copy. He's a pleasant surprise....
