Tyler, a concert promoter, is promoting an Australian production of the musical show Galactica. Sunny, a young singer aged 18, attends an audition in Melbourne for the part of Heroa, the lead female role. Tyler tells Sunny: "Ours will be a first-class production. We are in the process of signing Georgie Ripper, the famous American singer, for the male lead role. The show will be well advertised and will draw huge audiences." After the audition Tyler offers Sunny the part of Heroa. Sunny asks: "Are you sure that Georgie will take part?" Tyler replies: "As far as we can tell, he is very interested." Sunny then signs a contract to play the part of Heroa for a 2% share of the ticket sales. The contract contains all the usual terms for a contract of this type but does not mention Georgie Ripper.
