The endearingly sweet plot involves Georg and Amalia, feuding shop clerks in a 1930's Budapest parfumerie, who unknowingly fall in love via their letters as anonymous romantic pen pals. Surrounded by a roster of eccentric colleagues who aid and abet them, the two soul mates put on a brave front to cover their frailties, while longing for their happy ending. The show was the inspiration for the Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan film, You've Got Mail.
The performance schedule is Tuesday at 8 pm, Wednesday at 2 and 8pm, Thursday and Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 4 and 8pm, and Sunday at 3 p.m. The special series features A Taste of Tuesdays, Previews, Opening Nights, Thursday TalkBack, Sunday Symposium and Backstage Pass.
