Dates confirmed for Avenue Q

Oh Neville, it's clear you are not Melbourne based. What is more, you don't seem to know what you're talking about. 1. Q is folding early on the West End. If you don't believe me, Google it. 2. Into The Woods was a commercial hit on Broadway - ran about two years, turned a profit. 3. Into The Woods was staged in Melbourne (at The Playhouse)after the failed gardens version and was such a hit, it was set to transfer to The Comedy or Her Majesties, but the set (the revolve, actually) didn't fit. 4 Altar Boyz has run more than three and a half years in New York. 5. Altar Boyz won a Best Musical award - The Outer Critics Circle. This fact was used in publicity - a big part of their posters, but the show still flopped in Melbourne. 6. Far from not being "pop enough" Altar Boyz is all about pop - it concerns a pop group! 7. Your average Melbourne theatre goer would not know what the Tony Awards are, let alone who won one. Tony Awards are of more interest to theatre people than the general public. 8. Wicked is a much more commercial show than Q. In New York, it plays The Gershwin Theatre (1,809 seats). Q plays the Golden - seats less than 800 seats. 9. Wicked is selling very strongly in Melbourne. Cast have been told run will be between 14 and 18 months at The Regent. 10. Wicked brings in families, including little kids dressed as witches etc... You've yourself described Q as "...incredibly non-pc..." It won't attract families, or group bookers - senior cits., bowls clubs, etc... Take it from someone who works in this theatre town; Q should have been done at Chapel Off Chapel as a co-op. It will flop at The Comedy.
