The smash hit Australian musical hits London with a cast including Oz legends Tony Sheldon and Jason Donovan. Based on the cult 1994 movie The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Priscilla tells the story of two drag queens and a transsexual woman who inadvertently embark on a voyage of discovery (and self discovery) while travelling across the outback to an Alice Springs casino in a bus named Priscilla.

The musical Priscilla Queen of the Desert broke box office records when it opened at  Sydney’s Star City Casino in October 2006 and the production has also played spectacularly successful runs in Auckland and Melbourne before returning to its original home. Priscilla is pumped along by camp dancefloor classics including Don’t Leave Me This Way, Go West, I Will Survive, Hot Stuff and Finally.

 

Please note that the age recommendation for the above production should be one of ‘parental guidance for children of 15 years and under’
