The "Regina Maria" Theater participated with the show "Leonce and Lena" at the first edition of the "Theaterstock" International Performing Arts Festival in Bacău, which took place between August 1-16, 2015.
The musical comedy, applauded for minutes by the Bacău audience, was included in the RythmiCity and OUR STORY sections and was performed outdoors on August 14th on the Decebal Hotel Stage.

The success of the show was also noted by the press, which called the Oradea musical comedy "a crazy show. What the artists at the Regina Maria Theater in Oradea did goes beyond a simple musical that puts you in a good mood. It was total madness on stage, with live music, with crazy sets, with a drummer perched somewhere high and some perfect actors... Leonce and Lena is the kind of show that you can take anywhere in the world with to show what beautiful artists we have in this country. It's the show that makes you forget about any problem, throws you into a crazy story and keeps you there for a few dozen minutes."” (Ionut Avram, Political Farm)
