Don Gallagher (pictured below) joins the cast of West End musical Priscilla Queen of the Desert. The stage veteran will replace Tony Sheldon as ‘Bernadette’ in the production which plays at the Palace Theatre.

The show recently announced its booking period is being extended to February 2011. Jason Donovan (Tick/Mitzi) and Oliver Thornton (Adam/Felicia) retain their roles.

A Bus Journey of Self-Discovery

The musical tells the story of three drag queens, Mitzi, Felicia and Bernadette, who take a bus journey of self-discovery when they take their show to the middle of the Australian Outback.

The content is loud, the costumes amaze and the soundtrack is packed with dance floor hits. The show is based on the hit 1994 movie ‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’.
