does anyone know of plans to travel a show to australia anytime soon? we will rock you, lion king, mamma mia, dirty dancing, saturday night fever, menopause and others are currently playing and have been for AGES! full monty closed early as did some others.
being in the professional theatre community, the word is that wicked, chitty and mary poppins are all in major consideration.
"...But Kungurtseva reels off multiple fouettes and the tape is stopped so she can take a bow. The Jester, an abomination introduced to Swan Lake in Soviet times, extorts applause from the audience. The cuts don't help the storytelling, the production is bare bones and they go for the '50s-style happy ending.
The audience cheers like mad at the end. It's the Russian ballet, after all..."

GFO/SEL have HAIRSPRAY ready to go for next year but are still waiting to see if it's financially viable. I know a producer is checking theatre availability for WICKED. The Production Company in Melbourne are doing SUNSET BLVD., KISS ME KATE and OKLAHOMA, I believe.
Also Topol is coming back in his touring version of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, opening in Sydney in September.
LEADER OF THE PACK has just finished auditions for a planned ten-week season in Melbourne.
And the new DUSTY SPRINGFIELD bio-musical will start it's Australian tour later in the year.
