“The Paul Street Boys” is internationally known, so you can catch a famous story in a fresh musical version

Veresegyház is near Budapest, so it’s a simple day trip by car or suburban train (HÉV/MÁV) and ride-shares
+
Outdoor venue at Búcsú tér keeps things casual—picnic-y, summer-evening under-the-stars energy

Cons
–
Most performances are in Hungarian; non-speakers will miss jokes and nuances unless there are surtitles (unlikely)
–
Veresegyház and the festival aren’t widely known to U.S. tourists, so there’s less English info and guidance
–
Weather can make or break an open-air night, and organizers may change dates, which complicates planning
–
Compared with London/NYC open-air theater or big European festivals, production scale and name recognition are smaller
