Pretty good. I made a few minor changes and I have some minor (mostly sourcing related) issues:

• Despite the musical's success in Melbourne, Bennetto did not have any plans for Keating! after the end of the comedy festival. However, producer Catherine Woodfield insisted they develop it further. Between 2005 and 2006 they took it on tour across Australia, including a week of shows in the Sydney Opera House, a return season at Melbourne's Trades Hall, a two-week season at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, a week of shows at the Brisbane Powerhouse and two nights in Darwin.
  • Both parts of that statement need citations.

Added a cite for this.

• Keating, who has attended the show multiple times, believes that it is popular because politics and public life today are without humour and because of an increased interest in the unsettled issues in the national debate, such as the question of a republic.
  • I think that statement might work better with a quote rather than paraphrasing. Would that be possible?

Added a quote.

• "Both he and the ghost of Whitlam"
  • Who is Whitlam?

Gough Whitlam, a former Australian Prime Minister referred to in the previous paragraph. I added some clarification.

Overall, pretty good (although I have to admit that plot section was a tad difficult to read. If you plan to go to FA, it might be a benefit to leave it to plot only, then explain the political humour in another section), it's on hold for now. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 18:18, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
