A planned national tour of an Eddie Perfect-scored musical is cancelled despite strong critical reception and a dedicated audience, according to multiple reports from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The outlets say the production had received five-star reviews and maintained a cult following, but that organisers decide not to proceed with the tour. The decision is described as “difficult,” reflecting the contrast between the show’s positive reception and the tour’s ultimate cancellation.
While the reports do not indicate specific financial figures or detailed commercial reasons, they present a consistent account: the tour does not move forward as scheduled. The cancellation affects audiences across multiple Australian cities that were expected to host the production during the national run. The coverage also notes that the musical’s score is by Eddie Perfect, whose involvement is cited as part of the show’s profile. Overall, the sources agree that, notwithstanding acclaim and audience support, the tour is axed and the musical will not be staged nationally in the planned timeframe.
