PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT THE MUSICAL
Begins October 2010
Part of the 2010-11 Mirvish Subscription Season
The North American premiere of one of the hottest new musicals. PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT THE MUSICAL, written by Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott, and directed by Simon Phillips, will take over the Princess of Wales Theatre October 2010 for a limited pre-Broadway engagement.
Based on the Oscar® award-winning film, PRISCILLA tells the story of a glamorous Sydney-based performing trio: Tick, Bernadette and Adam. Travelling across Australia in a battered old bus (nicknamed Priscilla), the three agree to take their show to the middle of the Australian outback.
In a heart-warming, uplifting adventure, these three fish out of water who are searching for love and friendship ... end up finding more than they could ever have dreamed.
PRISCILLA features a dazzling array of spectacular and colourful costumes and a score of dance-floor classics, including: I Will Survive, Don't Leave Me This Way, Finally, I Love The Nightlife, Colour My World and Shake Your Groove Thing, all brought to life by the big sound of the live PRISCILLA band.
This new musical is a funny, moving and sensational journey to the heart of fabulous.
Currently playing to ecstatic audiences at London's legendary Palace Theatre, PRISCILLA began its stage life in Australia, where it broke box office records in Sydney and Melbourne, with more than $90 million taken at the box office, making this the biggest Australian blockbuster in stage history.
