SHE LOVES ME-I Like it NOT with Jane Krakowski-Better to Bank on "You've Got Mail" with Tom Hanks

SHE LOVES ME is a musical revival from 1964 which was adapted from the movie "The Shop Around the Corner," starring James Stewart in 1940.   Nora Ephron adapted her film "You've Got Mail," starring Tom Hanks (in Stewart's role) in 1998.   If you're not familiar with the original movie, Ephron's movie or the current B'wy revival SHE LOVES ME, the plodding plot is boy gets girl by writing letters, anonymously & freely.   Of course, everything is appropriated from the 17th C playwright Cyrano de Bergerac who famously wooed & won love through his prose despite his ungainly nose.  In other words, the pen is mighty but alas, the art of writing letters is obsolete.  Email, is perhaps a paltry replacement for wrriten correspondence.  The play is set in a store in 1934 where 2 clerks work the floor.  Unbeknownst, these 2 have been swapping lovelorn letters to each other as "Dear Friend." Ephron was able to elicit charm (thanks to Hanks) from the solace & blooming friendship stemming from swapping emails.  Here, the musical numbers feel dated. The overlap of singing worked well in "Guys & Dolls," but then so did the story & the music.  I don't fault the cast for failing to elevate this tired material.  You can't beat a dead horse.  However, Jane Krakowski and Zachery Levi were winning in their roles.  But, if there were a dream team cast that could bring life to this musical they would need Peter Gallagher as the lithario, Wallace Shawn as the maitre d, & Stubby Kaye as the chubby wingman.  Wait, Kaye is dead & SHE LOVES ME can't be reprised. "Tell this to all the world - say very softly that…She loves you not." (C  de Bergerac)
