Hear, hear -- we went to it with a group, and had a fine time. Good play, which managed to surprise me several times. It's not commedia, but it's close enough to startle me occasionally, luring me in with commedia-based expectations and then going off in a different direction. Frankly, I suspect the average Carolingian would perceive the play rather differently from the typical person on the street, simply because we're so used to the commedia tropes.

(Really, my only problem was that they don't quite follow the I Seb rule against modern expressions, so every time someone would use one, I would have this strange internal dialog of, "You can't say that!"; "We're not at an event: shut up and deal.")

Hadn't associated Lucy DeVito with her father, but now that you mention it I can quite see it. Height aside, there's a certain manner than runs in the family...
