Starting in Manchester this Summer, the show will tour Sunderland, Southampton, Stoke-on-Trent, Brighton, Eastbourne, Canterbury, Glasgow and Torquay.

The musical features pop songs including “It’s Raining Men”, “Say A Little Prayer” and “Hot Stuff”.
Producer David Ian said: “I am absolutely thrilled that audiences have demanded more of Priscilla! The reaction the show gets at theatres everywhere is like something I’ve never witnessed before – it is truly a party not to be missed. Having Duncan James play Tick is just the icing on the cupcake!”
