I attended the Riverside, CA show a couple of years ago and I was not impressed with the sound then either (I thought it was the venue). I definitely don't think it was the venue this time, but the mix. That said, we thought the performance was really good.
My 2 cents,

Not sure if it was a theater union guy doing the mixing, some older gent I had not seen before (who looked strangely familiar, but I didn't approach to chat ever), but I would have to say it wasn't the mix per se if you had issues, it was the sound distribution. I monitorited with a real time analyzer on my iPad, and at the board the sound was perfect. Audience left mid rear orchestra seats had a localized excessive bass problem and balcony had a significant high end assault, (which may not have been bad for those whose ears struggle to hear high end sounds), likely due to column placement and (lack of proper) angle (for this particular theater).
You really need to explain how "too loud, especially the high end, made the mix sound muddy" is even possible. Makes your credibility suspect unless you merely misspoke...
Names which I will not drop were in abundance at this show.
