Sheffield Theatres announce casting for Christmas musical SHE LOVES ME

Sheffield Theatres have announced the cast for its Christmas musical She Loves Me at the Crucible Theatre, running from 11 December 2021 – 15 January 2022.

Directed by Sheffield Theatres’ Artistic Director Robert Hastie, the cast includes Adele Anderson as Head Waiter (Fascinating Aïda), Lewis Cornay as Arpad Laszlo (The Book of Mormon), Andy Coxon as Steven Kodaly (West Side Story), Marc Elliott as Ladislav Sipos (The Girl on the Train), Kaisa Hammarlund as Ilona Ritter (Fun Home), Karl Seth as Zoltan Maraczek (Annie Get Your Gun), David Thaxton as Georg Nowack (Passion), and Alex Young as Amalia Balash (Guys and Dolls).

Completing the cast are Zac Adlam (Cinderella), Michael Anderson (The Sound of Music), Kamau Davis (Sleeping Beauty), Lawrence Guntert (Cabaret, also Dance Captain and Assistant Choreographer for She Loves Me), Samantha Hull (Guys and Dolls), Esme Laudat (Hairspray) and Gleanne Purcell-Brown (Curtains).

Amalia and Georg work together in a parfumerie in a picturesque Hungarian town. Constantly clashing, the two colleagues are at odds on the shop floor. But they do have one thing in common. They’ve both answered a lonely hearts advert and now live for the letters they exchange, unaware of the identity of their true loves. As they count down the shopping days to Christmas, love and snowflakes are in the air.

From the songwriters of Fiddler on the Roof, and the writer of Cabaret, and based on the story that inspired You’ve Got Mail, She Loves Me is a glorious romantic comedy musical that will warm even the chilliest of winter evenings.

Artistic Director of Sheffield Theatres and Director of She Loves Me, Robert Hastie, said: “Our Christmas musical this year promises to be a glorious, heart-warming swirl of festive joy. It’s a classic story of true love flourishing where you least expect it, set amid the bustle of December shoppers. We can’t wait to present you with a Christmas treat featuring new and familiar faces on the Crucible stage this winter.”
