[quote=Anonymous]Operation Mincemeat will start touring soon. I know it'll be in my area (Detroit) in January 2027, for example.

I'll be the voice of dissent. I saw it on Broadway last summer and absolutely hated it. One of the things that annoyed me so much, too, was that I was the one in my family who picked it. From the description it sounded like so much fun. I hated two of the main characters -- the main officer who took credit for everything and the dopey flailing guy. Yes, I have at least some basic familiarity with the conventions of British pantomime, so I had some idea in advance what I was getting into.

(There was one scene in the second act that I thought was staged brilliantly though. It involved strobe flashes and rapid changes of character.)

Also, I love musicals but I often struggle with hearing the lyrics or dialogue in lesser theaters due to poor miking or sound systems. One of the things I enjoy and have come to expect on Broadway is perfect sound. Until Operation Mincemeat. The miking/sound was awful and I struggled to make out the lyrics. I've seen this same complaint in numerous reviews of the Broadway production.

(Before anyone sasses me to get my hearing checked -- I have, and I actually have excellent hearing for my age.)
