Thank you for pointing out the better content that I missed in spots. Is it worth the shlep? Yes, if you like farce. One minor point: The country is not identified in any way in the play (as opposed to the program notes) as Germany until about a third of the way through. Frequent mentions of the "king" before that (in the parade where Louise, within 10 feet of him, loses her underpants) might lead you to think it's post-Victorian England at first....
