Sheez was this a popular show? Even the waiting list was sold out! I understand the U2 ticket scalpers have been making a killing on "Cloudstreet".Please, for the benefit of those of us that didn't get to BOCS quick enough could someone post a review?Thanks

Has anyone heard whether this show will be touring back to Perth at any stage? i hope we're going to get another chance to see it.Cheers
