Priscilla Queen of the Desert has just celebrated its first fabulous year at the Palace Theatre in London, flushed with critical acclaim and audience adoration. Based on the Oscar winning film, Priscilla is a spectacular new musical about three friends who hop aboard a battered old bus named Priscilla and take their show to the middle of the Australian outback.
Britain’s very own adopted Aussie Jason Donovan stars as Tick and handsome young leading man Oliver Thornton plays Adam in this crowd-pleasing spectacular.
This multi-million pound production includes 500 outrageous costumes from the movie’s Oscar-winning designers Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner and 28 of the most glamorous and talented performers in the West End, with songs including I Will Survive, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Shake Your Groove Thing, Don’t Leave Me This Way and Finally. Priscilla Queen of the Desert is a must-see, fabulous evening in London theatre and a West End theatre smash-hit.
