She Loves Me, which opened at the Eugene O'Neill Theater in Manhattan on April 23, 1963 with Barbara Cook, ran 301 performances in its original run. (It had a highly successful revival in the 1990s.) The book is by Joe Masteroff, with music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick. The following year, the latter two had a far greater success with Fiddler on the Roof.
