The Story
An unabashedly romantic, old-fashioned love story. Two shy clerks in a Budapest perfumerie carry on a passionate pen pal relationship, their true identities unknown to each other. While the two don’t get along at work, the sentiment of their letters makes them yearn to meet their secret loves. Misidentity and romance make this musical a perfect holiday confection.
