Tony Nominee Tom McGowan to Replace Michael McGrath in She Loves Me on Broadway

Tony nominee Tom McGowan will assume the role of Sipos in She Loves Me on May 10. He is set to replace Michael McGrath, who is scheduled to depart the company on May 8 for personal reasons. The acclaimed revival, starring Laura Benanti, Zachary Levi, Jane Krakowski and more, is playing a limited engagement at Roundabout's Studio 54 through July 10.

McGowan was Tony nominated for his Broadway debut in La Bête; additional Main Stem credits include Chicago, Ivanov, Wicked and Casa Valentina.

Featuring a book by Joe Masteroff, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and music by Jerry Bock, She Loves Me follows Georg (Levi) and Amalia (Benanti), two parfumerie clerks who aren’t quite the best of friends. Constantly bumping heads while on the job, the sparring coworkers can’t seem to find common ground. But little do they know, the anonymous romantic pen pals they have both been falling for happen to be each other! Will love continue to blossom once their identities are finally revealed? The score features favorites such as “Vanilla Ice Cream," “A Romantic Atmosphere," “Dear Friend” and “She Loves Me.”

Directed by Scott Ellis, the musical comedy's cast also includes Byron Jennings, Gavin Creel and Michael McGrath.

She Loves Me is based on a play by Miklos Laszlo, whose story was also the basis for the 1940 James Stewart film The Shop Around the Corner and the 1998 Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan film You’ve Got Mail. Ellis directed Roundabout’s She Loves Me in 1993, which marked the first Broadway musical in the company’s history. The show was originally seen on the Great White Way in 1963 in a production helmed by Harold Prince.
