The producers of Priscilla The Party have announced that the show will close in the West End next month.
Originally booking to 30 September, Priscilla The Party will now end in London on Sunday 26 May 2024.
Playing at HERE at Outernet in Soho, the show opened last month and stars Trevor Ashley as ‘Gaye Cliché’, Owain Williams as ‘Tick’ / ‘Mitzi’, Dakota Starr as ‘Bernadette’ and Reece Kerridge ‘Adam’ / ‘Felicia’.
The cast also includes Grace Galloway, Gracie Lai and Sara Louise as the ‘Divas’, Steven Serlin as ‘Bob the Mechanic’, Joni Ayton-Kent as Alternate ‘Bernadette’, and also John McGlone, Matthew Facchino, Isidro Ridout, Brandon Gale, William Elijah-Lewis, Samuel Stokes, Dan Holland, Kimberly Blake, Lucy Park, Maria Myatt and Teagan Denham.
Priscilla The Party has a book by Stephan Elliott, who wrote and directed the original hit movie The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and Allan Scott, with additional material by Phil Scott.
The show boasts the same creative team as the Olivier and Tony Award-winning West End and Broadway musical version of Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical, including the same award-winning costumes and head-dresses, and is re-directed by original director Simon Phillips.
Joining Simon Phillips in the creative team, the show has set and video design by Brian Thomson and Justin Nardella, costume design by Oscar winners Tim Chappell and Lizzy Gardiner, choreography by Andrew Hallsworth, musical arrangements and orchestrations by Stephen ‘Spud’ Murphy, musical arrangements, supervision and direction by Steve Geere, lighting design by Per Hôrding, sound design by Ben Harrison and general management by RGM Productions.
The immersive party show boasts eye-popping costumes, and an exhilarating soundtrack that encourages everyone to dance and sing along, including classics such as Hot Stuff, It’s Raining Men, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Finally, Go West, Say A Little Prayer, Boogie Wonderland, Shake Your Groove Thing and I Will Survive.
Priscilla The Party is produced by Randall A. Buck, Patrick Bywalski and Rod Gunner, in association with Nullarbor Productions, Blue Stage Entertainment and MGM On Stage.
A statement from the producers and venue said: “It is with regret and sadness that we must give notice of closure for Priscilla the Party! Our final performance will be the 1pm show on Sunday 26 May. The producers have supported the show financially since opening, but sadly that is no longer sustainable. We very much regret this reality, but the production has been facing difficult times. We can find comfort in knowing that the decision to close has nothing at all to do with the show itself. The extraordinary reviews and overwhelming positive response from audiences is solid proof of that. Numbering hundreds, every person in every department should be proud of their contribution; whether on stage, backstage, front of house, box office, ticketing, press and marketing teams, our unique audience ambassadors, the venue personnel and operators, creators and makers, managers and producing staff and of course our wonderful and enthusiastic audiences… We are proud to have shared the journey of this show-making experience with each and every one of you. We look forward to delivering each wonderful performance in these final weeks and leaving London knowing we have put smiles on so many faces. We hope that audiences will join with us in celebrating these final weeks at HERE at Outernet.”
Any ticket holders with dates after 26 May will be contacted by their ticketing provider.
