Dates confirmed for Avenue Q

"Your mention of the highly talented Ronnie Burkett underlines what has been written above. When he played in MELBOURNE, it was part of The Melbourne Festival – subsidised by the Australian tax payer. See – http://www.smh.com.au/news/arts-reviews/ronnie-burketts-10-days-on-earth/2007/02/02/1169919522325.html" In this particular case I was referring to last year's performance which was in Sydney only. You are incorrect. The link you provided was for the SYDNEY ONLY show; Ronnie came to Melbourne in 2002 and 2004 (I believe 2004), but NOT last year to perform (he did come to Melbourne to speak and give a workshop at VCA, but didn't perform). If you're going to use references like that as your proof of argument, and accuse us of not knowing the industry, at least try reading up on the tour schedule. My point was that people are willing to go to another city in order to see good puppetry. You may discount puppetry in Australia but I refuse to. You think VCA might just purchase a whole bunch of tickets to see Avenue Q? Or Swinburne? Both of which have puppetry courses/components? Again, I ask: are we referring to mainstream theatre goers and subscribers, or are we referring to those in the industry and more fringe theatre goers? "NA, you write – “can we move on”, then contradict yourself by added a further post." I was ready to move on, but five seconds later I thought of something else. I wholeheartedly disagree with your opinion, and am allowed to rebut if I think of something new. Round head foam puppet pattern at Puppets in Melbourne
