American comedy
Bálint Bársony – Attila Lőrinczy swing musical
The year is 1938, and we are in New York, aboard the luxury ship La Paz. On this ocean liner heading to Monte Carlo, we witness the fateful and stormy encounter between a workaholic, embittered young businesswoman and a charming adventurer. The ship's deck is populated by peculiar and unforgettable characters: Tony's fiancé, a decadent money aristocrat; a brutal wife and her terrified husband living in her shadow; a hesitant secretary whose life is turned upside down not once but twice by a Tibetan singing bowl; and Tony's irrepressibly lively mother, who is determined to appear younger than her own daughter.
In this world, everyone is either running from something or chasing someone. Serious money is at stake, while the characters toy with each other's emotions. All of this is infused with the swing and jazz that dominate the luxury ship: the golden-age music of the genre that remains alive to this day.
The former audience favourite will be revived on the repertoire of the Veres 1 Theatre from 2025. Based on the play of the same name by Károly Aszlányi, a popular playwright of the 1930s, the libretto and lyrics are penned by Attila Lőrinczy, while the music is composed by Bálint Bársony, an Artisjus and Fonogram award-winning composer and saxophonist. The American comedy is a story brimming with humour from start to finish, this time directed anew by Károly Peller.
