Down Under, Theatre Box Office Dives With Economy
"Total ticket sales for live shows in Australia fell by 13.6% last year in a trend that Aussie producers say reflects Oz's faltering economy during the period. ... In the five years the survey has been undertaken, overall figures appear to have grown and then slumped in line with the broader economy. (Individual show grosses are a tightly guarded secret in Oz.)" Variety 07/27/09
