Also booking: Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical 2026 UK & Ireland tour

Playing at HERE @ Outernet in London’s Soho from 3 March 2024, Priscilla The Party has a book by Stephan Elliott, the writer and director of the original much-loved movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and Allan Scott.

The show will be directed by Simon Phillips, in a creative team that also includes set and video designers Brian Thomson and Justin Nardella, costume designers Tim Chappell and Lizzy Gardiner – who designed the costumes for the original movie and the stage musical, and choreographer Andrew Hallsworth, with musical arrangements, direction, supervision and orchestrations by Stephen ‘Spud’ Murphy, music direction by Steve Geere, lighting design by Per Hording, sound design by Ben Harrison and general management by RGM Productions.

Priscilla The Party promises to be a grand celebration of 30 years since the original Oscar-winning movie, and 18 years since the London premiere of the Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical, and tells the same heart-warming, uplifting story of three friends who hop aboard a battered old bus, searching for love and friendship, and end up finding more than they could have ever dreamed of.

The show will feature dance classics including Hotstuff, 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.

Guests will be able to choose between a premium dining experience, featuring a three-course meal, or opt to sit or stand on the dance floor. For those in seats around or on the dance floor, bar snacks and drinks are readily available from the bar.

Director Simon Phillips said in a statement: “We’ve been telling theatregoers this story in over 30 countries now, for nearly two decades and, no matter where we have played around the world, multi-generational, diverse audiences – actually, anyone intent on having a good time – have felt more than welcome at a Priscilla show. Given the immense mainstream visibility and recognition drag is enjoying, there has surely never been a better time to celebrate this heartfelt tale of love, friendship and acceptance and this spectacular, interactive production will embrace its audience, immersing them in an experience they will never forget. Presented at the exciting HERE @ Outernet venue in Denmark Street in the heart of Soho, this ultimate celebration of Priscilla’s coming of age will bring everyone together with simply the best in feel-good entertainment!”

Trans icon Munroe Bergdorf said: “Priscilla is a timeless classic; for so many queer people it was the first time we saw queer people in movies, that we saw drag queens in movies, that I saw a trans woman on screen…. I think it’s really important we move with the times and provide new ways of telling stories that have impacted and empowered us all, so I’m very very excited and looking forward to seeing [Priscilla The Party!]… it’s such a ground-breaking story, especially in terms of everything going on with the trans community right now; this is what we need, we need stories that lead with joy, and to show that the trans experience isn’t always about tragedy.”

Priscilla The Party is produced by Randall A. Buck, Patrick Bywalski, Rod Gunner in association with Nullarbor Productions and Blue Stage Entertainment in association with MGM on Stage.
