A classic musical telling a story of unexpected love and mistaken identity, She Loves Me is a delightful little show with fire in its belly. Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Joe Masteroff's musical, which premiered on Broadway in 1963, is a lot of fun with heart-warming moments.

Casting announced for She Loves Me at the Landor Theatre starring Charlotte Jaconelli

Are you looking forward to presenting the second series of ‘The Curtain Up Show’ on Resonance 104.4fm? 

Hugely, I originally came up for the format of The Curtain Up Show when I was co presenting on BBC London four years ago, and then my career took a different direction. It was enormously exciting to come back to this idea four years later. There is nothing like live radio, it’s such a buzz and also especially on a subject that I adore - theatre. London Theatre is such an important part of our great city, there is so much going on all the time from fringe theatre to the West End. It is also important to support smaller venues both new and old as well as the main West End Theatres.
