Veresegyház turns into an open-air theater hub from June to August 2026, as Mézesvölgyi Nyár returns with Pest County’s biggest multidisciplinary festival. Every summer it packs the stands with hit shows and top-tier actors, and this year’s lineup mixes comedies, musicals, concerts, family favorites, and a world premiere under the evening sky at Búcsú tér, 2112 Veresegyház. The organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs, but the promise is simple: a summer of crowd-pleasers performed by the country’s most beloved artists.
Charlie kicks off the season
2026.06.21. — Charlie concert. Hungarian pop-rock’s unmistakable giant, Horváth Charlie, brings smoky blues, sultry jazz, and straight-up Hungarian rock to the Mézesvölgyi Nyár stage. Expect evergreen anthems from Jég dupla jéggel to Nézz az ég felé, the kind of songs entire generations belt out with him. It’s the trademark Charlie vibe meeting Veresegyház’s magical evenings.
Neil Simon’s razor-sharp farce
2026.07.03. — Neil Simon: Pletykafészek (Rumors) — two-act farce. Sit back and watch rumors run wild as the upper crust ties itself into hilarious knots. The audience’s job is easy: follow the whisper chain and enjoy the high-society chaos.
Youth, loyalty, and a classic reborn
2026.07.07. — Dés László – Geszti Péter – Grecsó Krisztián: A Pál utcai fiúk (The Paul Street Boys). The classic tale shifts from children to young adults, making the conflicts tougher and more urgent. Modern arrangements and lyrics heighten the drama, while the show leans on acoustic objects, the actors’ rhythmic-musical creativity, youthful energy and humor, and the original’s cathartic punch.
A second night on Paul Street
2026.07.08. — A Pál utcai fiúk — musical in two acts. The same reimagined classic returns, doubling down on its rawer stakes and live, tactile sound world. Expect the same energetic ensemble and soaring emotion.
Jungle heartbeat for all ages
2026.07.12. — A dzsungel könyve (The Jungle Book). Mowgli, the boy who faces down enemies and searches for happiness with his new family beneath thick canopies. A can’t-miss, heart-squeezing, heartwarming story of friendship and love for children and the young at heart.
Menopause gets loud, honest, and hilarious
2026.07.15. — Jeanie Linders: Menopauza — musical. That time comes in every woman’s life. Some hide it, others crack jokes. Jeanie Linders’s global hit does both, loudly, honestly, and with a riotous sense of humor.
Geszti turns up the good vibes
2026.07.19. — Geszti Péter concert. The frontman of positive energy brings stadium-shaking Rapülők dance hits, funky Jazz+Az grooves, Gringó Sztár flavors, and Létvágy pop delicacies, live with flashy stage tech, plenty of humor, and straight-talking lyrics.
World premiere: You Rang, M’Lord? (Csengetett, Mylord?)
2026.07.22. — You Rang, M’Lord? (Csengetett, Mylord?) — world premiere. Widower Lord Meldrum lives the roaring ’20s London upper-class life with his brother, mother-in-law, and two daughters. Downstairs, the cook, the valet, the butler, and the maid are just as colorful. After the TV comedy built on upstairs–downstairs contrasts, here’s the stage version: cult characters pursuing passions—money for some, skirts for others—now live in Veresegyház.
Steven Moffat’s wicked houseguest
2026.07.26. — Steven Moffat: Rém rendes vendég — two-act comedy. Polite English couple Peter and Debbie befriend American widow Elsa on a cruise. They swap addresses, promise visits—usually those never happen. This time it does. But by the time Elsa rings the doorbell, the couple has read things online that chill their blood. They don’t want her near their teens, but don’t want to offend her either. Enter a meddling neighbor and a police sergeant to twist the frenzy. Fresh off a London West End success, the frightfully nice guest lands at Játékszín—and on this summer stage.
Fur, flings, and flying garments
2026.07.28. — Ne most, drágám! (Don’t Dress for Dinner) — comedy. Love triangles, mink coats, scantily clad ladies, clothes flying out the window, total mayhem. All set in London’s swankiest fur salon, designed for unfiltered fun.
Poirot retires—then trouble knocks
2026.08.05. — Az Ackroyd gyilkosság (The Murder of Roger Ackroyd) — crime drama. Hercule Poirot retires to sleepy King’s Abbott to savor peaceful days—until two inexplicable deaths shatter the calm. Kálid Artúr stars as Poirot, with Szabó P. Szilveszter as Dr. James Sheppard in this tense Agatha Christie classic.
Italy, Hungarian humor, and ’70s hits
2026.08.07. — Anconai szerelmesek — musical comedy. A staple for two decades, one of Hungary’s most-played stage comedies blends Italian commedia dell’arte flair with homegrown humor and the ’70s’ biggest Italian pop songs.
Then to Lake Balaton
2026.08.11. — Anconai szerelmesek a Balatonon — musical comedy. Twenty calendar years pass but hearts stay the same. It’s the warm, wonder-filled summer of 1989, and the Italian crew sets off for Hungary—some with softer middles, some with graying hair, some chasing their teens—to find roots, rekindled love, peace, and joy. They’ll get plenty, thanks to Békés, the head of the Lake Balaton SZOT resort. And the bel canto soundtrack soars: Azzurro, Bella Ciao, Sono l’Italiano…
Csuja Imre, life unfiltered
2026.08.15. — Egy életem — biographical stand-up with Csuja Imre. He talks about his life just as we know him: modestly, funnily, warmly. Childhood days directed by his mother, early career years, playing four shows in a single day, lessons from great masters, and meeting his wife over 40 years ago. Plus behind-the-scenes tales from Glass Tiger (Üvegtigris) and A Kind of America (Valami Amerika).
Where mess is order
2026.08.18. — Túl a Maszat-hegyen — comedy. A world where smudge is order and cleaning is chaos. Muhi Andris sets off to rescue friends from the realm of blotches, dusters, and ferocious neat freaks. A colorful, magical, catchy musical journey for kids and grown-ups, where play, imagination, and laughter lead the way—and even vacuums may be on the wrong side.
Operetta, re-stitched and roaring
2026.08.29. — Nem rongyos élet — újravarrva | operetta gala. Last year they promised; this year they overdeliver. Remember that wild night when drama titans and operetta stars danced the csárdás together? New faces and old favorites reunite to prove that Hungarian operetta—now a Hungarikum—belongs to everyone.
