Ticket for Bran Nue Dae. I had a reserved seat a couple of nights before, enjoyed it so much: the venue was perfect as some of Bran Nue Dae is set at Sun Pictures (heritage open air picture theatre). Also the locals present responded to local references and language. I then lined up in the Friday with many others hopeful of getting in. I was fortunate and sat near a local family and enjoyed the musical much more the second time.
