A delightful first act gives way to a muddled Act II in "Yank!" The writers deliberately traffic in clichés, following the blueprint of countless musicals and war movies of the 40s. The gimmick works well for most of the way. Ultimately, though, the commitment to emulating those old musicals derails a show that had been moving along nicely. The show would be better if it were less ambitious.
