Tick, Tick… Boom! reimagined on stage

March 25, Wednesday, 19:00
Jonathan Larson’s autobiographical musical Tikk‑Takk… Bumm! (Tick, Tick… Boom!) premiered Off‑Broadway, toured the world, and became a multi‑award‑winning Netflix film in 2021. Approaching 30, composer Jon stares down the big questions: where’s the breakthrough, is this his path, and what happens when the clock strikes thirty? We follow Jon, his best friend Michael—an actor turned PR manager—and Susan, his dancer girlfriend, all chasing their shot.
The audience drops into an intimate, acoustic, club‑concert‑meets‑stand‑up night with Márk Ember as Jon. Three actors morph through multiple roles to map Generation Y’s anxieties: growing up without war or hunger yet fearing the plunge into real life. The weight of adulthood, uncertainty, and commitment hangs heavy—and they scramble, with varying success, to survive it. Live band included.

The Naked Truth – a musical comedy

March 29, Sunday, 19:00 – musical comedy
Six women from wildly different backgrounds sign up for a confidence‑boosting pole‑dance course—and it’s not just about the moves. Friendships form, secrets tumble out, and they gradually learn to accept and love their bodies. A bold idea pushes them toward a charity show where they strip away inhibitions—and clothes. Witty, liberating, and all about self‑acceptance, sisterhood, and how the hardest act can be baring it all, inside and out.
Cast: Paula Barbinek, Csilla Csomor, Anita Deutsch, Ágnes Gubik, Csekka Gyebnár, Petra Haumann
Creators: Written by Dave Simpson; Translation/Dramaturgy: Paula Barbinek; Set/Costume: Éva Gordos; Coach: Adrienn Fehér; Choreography: Andrea Tallós; Sound: György Csomor; Lights: András Váradi “Szőke”; Music: International hits in new arrangements; Lyrics: Csaba Csik/Dávid Péter Cseh; Pole coaching: Bernadett Tóth/Pole Heaven Studio; Assistant Director: Kriszta Kiss; Director: Rita Tallós; Producer: Krisztina Timár.

Mamma Mia: Anyatigrisek

April 8, Wednesday, 19:00 – musical
Amy, due any minute, hosts a baby shower. Enter Barbara, the emotionally overheated homemaker; Brooke, a workaholic, stressed lawyer; and Tina, the divorced overachiever mom. They’re here to advise an expectant host with very rosy ideas about motherhood. Not for long. Anyatigrisek (Moms: The Musical) tears up taboos with humor and shows what parenting really looks like. Whether you’re a black‑belt mom or a first‑timer, this 90‑minute musical romcom will lift you. The original English‑language hit has played to full houses across four continents for a decade; now Liliom Produkció brings it to Hungary. An emotional roller coaster with laughs and heart.
Cast: Katinka Cseke, Linda Fekete, Adrienn Fehér, Tímea Kecskés
Director: Rita Tallós

A London‑based Hungarian has had enough of free money. Róbert Szűcs is rolling in benefits: unemployment, old‑age pension, sick pay, child support, disability allowance, and even free cow’s milk—not to mention the nursing‑bra hustle that stokes his wife’s jealousy. To avoid getting caught, he decides to ditch the illegitimate payouts rather than his wife or his freedom. Turns out, shaking off benefits is harder than it looks. Bánfalvy Studio’s new farce goes full tilt.

Rendezvous in Paris, or Happy Easter!

April 23, Thursday, 19:00 – two‑part comedy
Set in today’s Paris, in an upscale quartier. Based on the 1984 smash French film scripted by Jean Poiret and Georges Lautner, starring Sophie Marceau and Jean‑Paul Belmondo. During Easter break, industrialist Stéphane Margelle lives in Paris with his beautiful wife, Sophie. A Casanova, he resists no one—until he takes his wife to the airport, bumps into an 18‑year‑old girl, and does the rounds: restaurant, nightclub, finally his apartment. Chaos: Sophie’s flight is canceled, she walks in on them, and in a tight corner Stéphane blurts the ultimate bluff—the girl is his daughter.

Pros
+
Family-friendly mix: classical concerts, jazz nights, comedies, and musicals mean everyone from teens to grandparents can find something they like
+
Internationally known music on the bill (Strauss, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mahler, Bach, Handel, Bartók, Brahms), so you’ll recognize plenty even if you’re not a hardcore classical fan
+
Győr is a charming mid-sized city with a walkable old town and is increasingly on tourists’ radar as a Budapest/Vienna day-trip add-on
+
No Hungarian needed for orchestral concerts, and English-language roots of Tick, Tick… Boom! make it easy to follow; staff at major venues usually speak basic English
+
Easy access: Győr sits on the main rail line and highway between Budapest and Vienna; frequent trains and straightforward driving/parking make getting to Richter Hall simple
+
Value for money compared with big-city venues in Western Europe or the U.S.; high-caliber orchestras and soloists at lower ticket prices
+
Comparable to regional concert halls in Austria or the Czech Republic, but with a broader mix (symphonic, jazz, and popular theater) under one roof
Cons
Some comedies and musicals are in Hungarian only, so plot jokes and wordplay can fly over your head
Győr isn’t as famous to U.S. travelers as Budapest or Vienna, so you won’t have the big-city buzz or tourist infrastructure on every corner
Evening-heavy schedule limits options if you’re day-tripping; plan an overnight or late train back
Popular dates can sell out, and seat selection info in English may be limited on local ticketing sites
