Priscilla Queen of the Desert theatre breaks

Show synopsis

Priscilla tells the story of three colourful misfits as they trek through the Australian outback following their dreams.

Tick (Ben Richards) is a struggling drag queen trying to make his mark in Sydney. Things aren't looking great for Tick until a phone call from Alice Springs comes in asking if he'll perform a four week season at the casino. The only problem is that Alice Springs is over 2016 km away.

Undetterred and certain that this will be his big break, Tick rounds up his transsexual friend Bernadette (Tony Sheldon) and excitable party-boy Adam (Oliver Thornton) to drive across the great Australian Desert with nothing more than Priscilla, a battered and tatty old bus, for transportation.

Set to a sensational soundtrack of disco classics, Priscilla Queen of the Desert is an extremely lively and entertaining show.
