  • OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN musical did not had a good start with mixed reviews, because of mixed reviews it will not go to Melbourne, next LEGALLY BLOND, another coup for Sydney, will NOT last long as OFFICER...........,.next CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, another COUP for Sydney another NOT long lasting musical and the NSW government paid for all that, what a waste of taxpayers money. Sydney would like to think, that it is THE entertainment capital of Australia, but failed.
