Did you know

• Benanti stated in a Facebook Live interview that the ice cream that Georg brings Amalia is actually soy ice cream. That's why when Benanti drops a spoonful on her pajamas in the middle of the scene it doesn't leave a stain. This was chosen because it doesn't melt as easily under the hot lights, and it doesn't coat singers' throats like milk-based products.

• This 2016 production received Tony Award nominations for Laura Benanti and Zachary Levi for leads and Jane Krakowski for support.

• The Hungarian play on which "She Loves Me" is based also served as the source material for the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan film "You've Got Mail" (1989), as well as the earlier films "The Shop Around the Corner" (1940) starring James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, and "In the Good Old Summertime" (1949), starring Van Johnson and Judy Garland.
