I think the show will

I think the show will probably be really successful, I mean the way I see it the producers are being really smart in how they are laying out the production. The show has a low production cost, much lower than that of the majority of shows these days; thus it is much less of a gamble than Spamalot or some other recent shows, and much easier to tour. By making each leg of the tour a limited engagement the demand and intrigue factor should be higher than other shows as well, seeing most shows these days are trying for open-ended runs. Plus, looking at the ticket pricing on the Melbourne leg of the tour (see Ticketek), with the majority of tickets being under $90 (and the student / concession cheap tickets!!); the show is going to be widely more accessible to the general public than most of the shows that will be out around that time (e.g. Wicked, BE, and Jersey Boys at the end of the run), especially given the current economic situation. I know you can't predict these things, but in my opinion, I think Avenue Q is going to be a hit!
