Please bring this show to Brisbane!!!!!!
I second that. Would love to see this classic in Brisbane.
I saw this in the 50's in London when I was 10. Still vivid in my memory. It will be fantastic to see it in Melbourne.
Where are the Brisbane dates. It would be a full house every night.
Hey don't leave Brisbane out !!!!
Would the author please advise why this is not being staged in Australia's third-largest city, when it is being performed in much smaller places?
I really want to see this in Brisbane
