I always enjoy reviews by David Cox and I usually agree with him, even in this case. I'm still very happy to have seen the show.

Did I mention there’s a mime?

In terms of wild applause, it was Donna Murphy as Aurelia who was front and center, exciting the audience to a fervor with each re-emergence on the stage.

I saw a semi-staged production of Dear World back in 2017 (had to look the date up). It was presented by the York Theatre Company and starred Tyne Daly. I recall it being pretty loony.

Agreed, but is the story line any more loony than "Urinetown"?

I read the The Madwoman of Chaillot, the play on which it's based, about 50 years ago (i.e. around the time the musical and a Katherine Hepburn film based on the play were produced). As I recall, that was rather loony as well.
