One week after Beetlejuice, a second musical blockbuster is cancelled
In a shattering blow for Australian live performance, the Broadway hit musical Waitress has announced it is axing its Sydney shows due to softer than expected ticket sales, just one week after the abrupt cancellation of national dates for Beetlejuice.
Waitress, which starred Rob Mills and Natalie Bassingthwaighte in the title role of the pie-making waitress Jenna, was to have opened in Sydney’s Lyric Theatre on August 1.
The show made history on Broadway with the four top creative spots filled with women and a storyline that embraces feminine power, but the cast was told the devastating news on Sunday that the show will not travel to Sydney at the end of its Melbourne premiere run.
Beetlejuice heads to early grave in latest musical cancellation
The Eddie Perfect-penned adaptation of the Tim Burton classic has cut its upcoming Australian tour short, despite reportedly strong Adelaide sales.
Beetlejuice: The Musical’s Australian tour will be laid to rest months ahead of schedule, with its promoter citing “increasing cost pressures” and a “cautious consumer environment” for the decision.
News broke late on Friday that the show’s current Brisbane run – which opened on June 7 – would face a reduced season, with remaining stops in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney struck off the schedule. It was due to hit Adelaide in October.
“For a production of this scale, the current logistical realities of touring across vast distances between Australian cities have created increasing cost pressures that ultimately made continuing the run unsustainable,” a spokesperson for Michael Cassel Group told InReview.
