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 70's 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 audiences 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. Enjoy a non-stop parade of dance-floor classics including Hot Stuff, I Will Survive, I Love The Nightlife, and Finally!
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.
Priscilla first opened as a stage musical in Sydney in 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.

Priscilla focuses on both the highs and lows of drag life and somehow manages to be deeply touching in between the crude and camp...
