Ok, you want buzz? I'm about to out and out k'vell.
I anticipate that the starry revival of SHE LOVE ME might well turn out to be one of the most beloved Broadway musical revivals ever and, yes, I realize we may already have one of those this season with Color Purple.
In full disclosure, I am far from impartial. It's my favorite all time show. And the 2011 concert, also directed by Scott Ellis and featuring roughly half the current cast including an ingenious Jane Krakowski, sublime Gavin Creel, spot on Michael McGrath and a hilarious tony-worthy one-scene-wonder turn by Peter Bartlett, ranks among the best nights of my theatre-going life. And while I would love it if Kelli O"Hara and Josh Radnor were returning to show Broadway how profoundly brilliant they were that night, their replacements, Laura Benanti and Zachary Levi might just spark equal magic.
