Based on the famous German Musical movie from the 1930s starring Willy Fritsch, Oskar Karlweis, the legendary Heinz Rühmann, and Lilian Harvey, the stage adaptation is coming to Vienna's Metropol after a successful run at the Schloss Weitra Festival.

All three fall in love with Lili, the charming (and wealthy) customer. Everything is set for an entertainingly funny evening at the Metropol.
