The 1936 Hungarian play PARFUMERIE by Miklos Laszlo has the humble distinction of living in the shadow of the more famous movies (and Broadway musical) that it inspired. In fact, Hollywood has cashed in on the play not once but three times - the first adaptation was the 1940 Ernst Lubitsch romantic comedy 'The Shop Around the Corner,' starring James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, which was followed by the 1949 screen musical version 'In the Good Old Summertime,' starring Judy Garland, and much later by the 1998 Nora Ephron movie 'You've Got Mail,' with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. And of course, the Broadway musical 'She Loves Me' - adapted from the play by Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Joe Masteroff - opened in New York in 1963 and is now one of the most beloved (and revived) musicals during the Christmas season each year. All I can say is for those who enjoy this story of mistaken identity between pen-pal lovers should see one of those versions

For the last 25 years, Hungarian/German producer and percussionist Leslie Mandoki has united legendary icons of Anglo-American rock and jazz-rock into one supergroup he calls the "ManDoki Soulmates.' For the first time in the US, the group made their debut public performance at New York City's Beacon Theatre on Monday, January 29th, at 8 pm.

After 25 years of selling out concert halls and arenas throughout Europe, the supergroup ManDoki Soulmates are thrilled to make their US debut, performing their 'Wings of Freedom' Concert at NYC's Beacon Theatre (2124 Broadway, New York, NY) on January 29, 2018 at 8 pm. Hungarian/German producer and drummer Leslie Mandoki leads the group of what he calls 'musical rebels and idealistic freethinkers' as a way of promoting freedom and tolerance all over the world through music.
