Another fun Arena experience

Last evening three friends and I attended a play at Arena Dinner Theater.  So-so dinner but really good play. It was a musical comedy called "She Loves Me" and, according to the program, takes place in 1934 in Budapest.  Thankfully, the really excellent actors did not try to speak with Hungarian accents.  Until the play started I was sure I had never heard of it before, but in the first scene there was a plot twist involving a musical cigarette box, and I knew, when I saw that, that I had seen the play before.  The play was written in the 1960s so it's not surprising that I mught have seen it but I can't remember where or when.  Someone suggested that it might have been at Stratford but I don't think so.  I think the production last night was better than the first time I saw it.  While Arena puts on really good plays they can't top a Stratford production.  I would be recommending that everyone go see this play but last night was the last performance.  If you  ever do get a chance to see it, it's lots of fun.
