Now, I'd seen this in the season guide, but it had been so far away that with the distraction of Spelling Bee, I managed to promptly forget about it.
However, passing through the Arts Centre today, I saw flyers for it, and decided to sneak a peek to see whether more cast had been added, and this is just unmissable.
That cast? Excellent (If the name Melissa Madden Gray is unfamiliar to anyone, she was the excellent Morganna in TPC's Camelot, as well as the cabaret artiste Meow Meow). Likewise the production team.
Of course, it opens the day I leave (noticing a pattern with MTC shows, Sally?), but there are ten days or so after I get back, so I'm as good as there

I was always planning on seeing this one but kind of forgot about it until, well, now.
