Broadway to Australia Pipeline

Is this increasing? A friend in Australia just saw Roger Bart last week in Sydney and said he appeared to be phoning it in, but that the audience seemed excited by having a Broadway star there... I also clocked the Beetlejuice tour w/ Andy Karl though it looks like a leg was canceled for low ticket sales? And they're getting Will Swenson next in Beautiful Noise. 

Is this an increasing trend? 

Andy Karl, I believe, is more or less based in Australia these days because that’s where his fiancé (Elise McCann) works as a stage actress. 

Broadway/American talent going to Australia may seem like a boom at the moment because there are two prominent performers there right now, but it’s no more or less than normal.
