Not a Halloween Person? Spend Saturday night falling in love instead. Skip the haunted houses and fake cobwebs.

This Saturday, October 31, The Little Theatre of Alexandria offers a different kind of night out: a lush, romantic musical set in a charming 1930s European perfumery. No scares, no costumes required, just heart, humor, and one of Broadway's most beloved scores.

In a charming 1930s European perfumery, shop clerks Georg and Amalia can't stand each other. They bicker across the counter by day, never suspecting that each is the anonymous pen pal the other has been falling for by letter. As the holidays approach and the mystery unravels, two unlikely sweethearts discover that love may have been right in front of them all along. Set to a lush, witty score, it's the same timeless story that inspired the film You've Got Mail.
