    She Loves Me Production Promo Video

    The San Diego Musical Theatre cast of "She Love Me" takes you on a most unlikely journey of friendship and love in this delightful and charming rom-com! The inspiration of movies like the "Shop Around The Corner" and "You've Got Mail", "She Loves Me" is the story of apparent rivals who unknowingly develop a relationship and fall in love through anonymous "Lonely Hearts" letter exchange. It beautifully and comically punctuates the reality that the best traits of a person is what they bring from the inside! A classic must see and the perfect date night entertainment!
