| Further Information |
The show was supposed to open on the 12th April and close on the 7th May but didn't open until 23rd April and closed on 14th May. The season was extended in Sydney for two weeks due to popular demand, delaying the start in Melbourne. The Melbourne season was then extended due to an air traffic controllers' strike which effectively grounded the company who were supposed to fly out to Hong Kong.
