I hate Davd Cote's reviews in Time Out NY-- they have a very limited word count in that magazine and he wastes half his reviews on flowery nonsense trying to be clever when he could use those words to actually review other facets of the production.

The Associated Press is Very Positive.

The charming, irresistible musical "She Loves Me" opens with a group of people arriving for work one midsummer day and dreaming of playing hooky. Thank goodness they don't.

An astounding cast, a nifty story and memorable songs turn this revival into a celebration of classic musical construction. It's worth skipping work to see.

Director Scott Ellis, who helmed a revival in 1993, does so again as part of the Roundabout Theatre Company's 50th anniversary celebration. His last version actually ran longer than the 1963 original and helped repopularize it.

This time he's got the radiant Laura Benanti and he's surrounded her with some of Broadway's best — Gavin Creel, Byron Jennings, Michael McGrath, Jane Krakowski and Peter Bartlett. Zachary Levi, known for TV's "Chuck," proves a gifted leading man.

The Hollywood Reporter is a Rave

It’s one month late for Valentine's Day, but Roundabout Theatre Company's enchanting staging of She Loves Me sends a message straight to the heart of romantic musical comedy lovers. Designed as a pastel-colored, art nouveau jewel box, the 1963 show has been directed by Scott Ellis with effortless buoyancy and sophistication. It's also ideally cast, with an ensemble led by Laura Benanti, whose silvery soprano was born to sing this role. Add in Zachary Levi, projecting throwback charm with winning confidence, and Jane Krakowski in top form and you have a revival that will delight admirers of this musical favorite while providing a perfect introduction to those encountering it for the first time.

Vulture is Positive with something interesting to note about the orchestrations,

The orchestration for 21 players has been reduced to 14. This is, admittedly, quite an improvement over the 1993 orchestration for eight; much of the music in that production was synthesized.

Yes! Go She Loves Me Go! 

Hoping for a love letter from Brantley for Ms. Benanti! 

Incidentaly, I think all raves, which do not contain any negativity towards individual actors, should come with the disclaimer "This review has been approved by Patti Murin."

Glad this is getting such good reviews. Well deserved. I felt like I wanted to give this show a hug when it was over. Kudos to all involved.

Love letter to Laura Benanti and Jane Krakowski, with caveats about Creel and Levi.

So excited to hear this.  Seeing it next Thursday.

But was there any doubt?  

Often "billed" as the "perfect musical,"  and with a solid, winning cast.  I would have been surprised if it hadn't received these reviews.

Can't wait to see it.

Boy, is Jeffrey right. That's why early Tony predictions seem silly until everything is out there. The revival category will be tough to call.
