The council’s community services portfolio spokesperson, Councillor Drew Wickerson, said the additional performance was great news for theatregoers.
“If you haven’t already bought tickets, then I urge you to get in as soon as you can,” he said.
“At the moment there are still good seats available for all performances but the extra show, which has just gone on sale, has a better range of available seating.
“I am pleased to hear that demand has been so strong.
“I think it is important that Rockhampton Regional Council provides this opportunity for local performers in its annual musicals and it is testament to the quality of the productions that audiences keep coming back and supporting them in such a big way.”

A record 400 swimmers will contest the CQ Championships in Rockhampton this weekend.
Eighteen clubs will be represented at the two-day event at the 2nd World War Memorial Aquatic Centre.
CQ Swimming president Michael Borg said it would be great to see so many of the region’s swimmers in action.
“Nominations are up about 20 per cent on last year,” he said.
“Those of us who have been around the sport for 10 years or more can’t remember exceeding that number before.
“We’re finding the 12 and 13 years boys and girls are particularly strong but across the board numbers are really good.”

Have you got a building that has a bit of an eerie feel to it or maybe a home with some rich history?
Rockhampton-based Hauntabull Ghost Tours is looking for a new venue to carry out its tours after its last location was vandalised.
“We are looking for somewhere, it could just be a basic pub, could just be a business, anywhere really, they might have something going on where the fans are turning on and they didn’t turn it on, just little things,” business owner Michelle Cromar said.
Before they do a tour, Michelle and friend Nick Jensen do an investigation to check if the location is haunted.
