The curtain has fallen on the world premiere season of Dream Lover - The Bobby Darin Musical, which has proven to be a hit for NSW tourism.
Nearly 40 per cent of ticket buyers came from outside Sydney indicating strong appetite for the show Australia-wide, and nearly 30 per cent of those audiences came from Regional NSW.
NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres said, “With its big band, swinging tunes and stellar cast, Dream Lover promised to be a spectacular production and it certainly lived up to expectations, delighting audiences and receiving exceptional reviews.
“The NSW Government is proud of the role we have played in bringing this new Australian production to fruition and to have secured the world premiere season exclusively for Sydney. Musicals are a major motivator for travel and more than 29,000 overnight visitors came to Sydney to see Dream Lover, injecting an estimated $7.1 million in visitor expenditure.
“I congratulate John Frost and the entire production team, crew and remarkable cast led by David Campbell and Hannah Fredericksen, on the success of Dream Lover,” he said.
