Cons
–
Marcali is a tiny town super unknown to us Americans or most foreign visitors, way off the usual Hungary tourist trail like Budapest or Balaton hotspots.
–
Orfeum Hercegnő and local theater aren't internationally famous like Broadway musicals or Disney shows, so it might feel niche and less hyped.
–
The show's likely in Hungarian, which could be a drag without subtitles, unlike multilingual big productions in London or NYC.
–
Getting there from the US means a long flight to Budapest then trains/buses (3+ hours), not as straightforward as hopping to a major Euro event.
