	Description:		Australia is quickly becoming a major player in the world of musical theatre - which mega musicals including Priscilla and Dirty Dancing, it is a major testing ground for new musicals. Guest presenters Luisa Lyons and Maryann Wright talk about the rivalry between Melbourne and Sydney, Doctor Zhivago, Strictly Ballroom, Beaudy, The Hatpin, Keating, Officer and a Gentleman, the Festival circuit, Kookaburra, new arts funding bodies like New Musicals Australia, state funding bodies and why seeing Barry O'Farrell at musical premieres is a good thing, Digital Theatre and other initiatives to film live performances, and Cate Blanchett and her crusade for better post-show events to foster a theatre community. Streuth, mate!
