Cons
–
Likely performed in Hungarian, so non-speakers may miss nuances unless supertitles are provided
–
Veres 1 Színház isn’t an internationally famous company, so info in English may be spotty
–
Miskolc and Debrecen are less known to U.S. tourists than Budapest, so you’ll need a bit more planning
–
Compared to big West End/Broadway shows, production values may be simpler, focusing more on acting than spectacle
