Porgy and Bess

[jackjackjack]

Not many chances to see this one, since you can only get the rights if your entire cast is African American.

This thrilling production, imported from the United States by Living Arts (New York) and Andrew McKinnon Presentations, has captivated audiences around the world and provides audiences with the rare opportunity to see a fully-staged production of Porgy and Bess performed exactly as the composer intended - with a cast made up entirely of superb African-American singers.

www.amckinnon.com.au/ says 2 shows for Hobart (8th & 9th), but Ticketmaster says only one.

Can't be a huge show if it can move around that quickly.

I can't imagine you will get "a full production" that can pay its way with such full tour. So many moves. Missing from the list of dates here are Geelong, Bunbury and Darwin.
