Kylie's powers that be didn't approve copyright release of a medley that was written specifically for the show.
Although when Felicia stands on Ayers Rock towards the conclusion of act 2 and sings the aria-esque tune (or rather, lipsynchs) is it actually a reworked and very well orchestrated version of her Confide In Me.
I am guessing however that before it opens in London, Kylie might be a little more willing to have some more of her tracks in the show; considering there is a joke or reference to her every twenty seconds.
It is a very VERY fun show that carries a powerful message - it is just up to you how much you chose to read into it. in that way, i think it was cleverly directed by simon phillips who doesn't force the sex OR the metaphors down your throat - it allows for a broader audience appreciation.
Tony Sheldon IS this show - he is just so delightful and inspiring to watch.
And to whoever said that there was a rumour it was going back to Sydney..it's not a rumour. It has been confirmed and is pending ultimate finalisation based on how many of the cast are keen and free to do another six months in Sydney starting in September. F**king brilliant for an Aussie show to get so much longevity - especially with our hard-to-please audiences!
And the show has had SO many changes since the initial Sydney run, it is almost like seeing a different show entirely. It is running very nicely now.

Posted: 5/31/08 at 6:19amI have the cast recording ever since it came out and I LOVE IT !! This is a show I am really looking forward to and will gladly make a short trip to London to enjoy it live ! I'm ready to bet it's going to be a HUGE hit, in the league of Mamma Mia, over at the West End !

I thought it was a fun night at the theatre but would have no interest in seeing it again.
The costumes are spectacular though.
