Each manning a piano, the trio slips into a wild reenactment of a Schubertiad—a musical salon thrown by the composer and his friends. Unfortunate butchery of the German language ensues as they grapple with fundamental questions about the nature of music, love, and drunk dialing. Join in the eccentric merrymaking of this OBIE-winning music-theater event that wowed audiences and critics alike in its sold-out runs in New York.
