Why See Priscilla, Queen of the Desert?

Musicals

FROM DOWN UNDER TO THE WORLD!

Two drag queens, one transsexual, a campervan and the journey of a lifetime! Priscilla Queen of the Desert is a sassy and sensational spectacle and a light-hearted look into friendship and forgiveness. Adapted from the Oscar award-winning film, the stage musical is big and bold and deliciously outrageous. With all the best 70s disco hits, a host of wonderful characters and spectacular and vivid costumes from a kaleidoscopic dreamscape, Priscilla Queen of the Desert is a voluptuous and veritable multi-sensual feast.

Priscilla Queen of the Desert is a feel-good extravaganza that has dazzled and delighted audience all over the world and received a multitude of awards. In its country of origin, it won five Australian Greenroom awards. It won an Olivier award and the Whatsonstage.com award for 'Best New Musical' in London, a Tony award in the US, 6 Toronto Broadway World awards and a Toronto Theatre Critics award in Canada, and 4 DAPA awards in Italy.

WHAT'S PRISCILLA ALL ABOUT?

Drag queens Tick and Adam and transsexual Bernadette, accept a gig in Alice Springs for a spectacular Sydney-based show. The three friends hop aboard a run-down old bus, fondly nicknamed Priscilla, and set out on an adventure into the Australian outback. But the jolly jaunt is not without its wobbles, as the trio encounter hospitality, hostility and their own prejudices, and ultimately becomes a journey into the heart of friendship and family, love and learning, and, undeniably, all things fabulous.

DID YOU KNOW?

Priscilla first opened as a stage musical in Sydney 2006. Adapted from Stephen Elliott?s 1994 film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen on the Desert, the smash-hit extravaganza has become one of the most successful musicals to come out of Australia. The show boasts over 500 award-winning costumes and 200 gravity-defying head-dresses.
