Along the way, the characters occasionally stop what they’re doing to burst into musical numbers (including “Back in the Saddle” and “Yankee Doodle”), and the women are constantly fussing with such vintage technology as reel-to-reel tape recorders and phonograph turntables. The two-level stage features a playing area beneath a stage so steeply raked at 45 degrees that one simultaneously admires the performers’ athleticism and fears for their safety.

Both guest artists meld beautifully with the rest of the troupe: McDormand is terrific as a tough-minded master sergeant, and Tierney has great moments, especially with her impersonation of a heavily accented French prostitute.
