SHOW STOPPER: The Sydney production of Rock of Ages was this morning postponed indefinitely. Rodney Rigby of Newtheatricals, on behalf of the producing group said: "It has been decided due to the current economic environment, Rock of Ages will reschedule its Sydney season at a later time.'' So the four winners of the daily double pass to see the show in Sydney will now be offered an in-season double pass to see Jersey Boys at Theatre Royal. However, the Sydney winner of Friday's major prize will be flown to Brisbane at a date to be confirmed to see that city's Rock of Ages performance. The prize will include an in-season double pass, return flights for two people to Brisbane and overnight accommodation at a city hotel. Stay tuned for yesterday's prize winners and today's question (Sydney entrants please note today's prize is an in-season double pass for Jersey Boys).
