Playwright-lyricist Attila Lőrinczy provides the libretto and song lyrics, while Artisjus and Fonogram award winner Bálint Bársony composes a score steeped in vintage swing. Directed by Károly Peller, the show fires from overture to finale with humor, momentum, and brass-bright swagger, promising an irresistible night out for every generation.
