Overview

PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT is a heartwarming and fabulously fun musical based on the hit Australian film, following the adventurous journey of three friends—Tick, Bernadette, and Adam—a glamorous Sydney-based performing trio who agree to take their drag show to the middle of the Australian outback. They hop aboard a battered old bus (nicknamed Priscilla) searching for love, acceptance, and friendship, only to discover far more than they ever imagined.

Featuring iconic dance hits like “It’s Raining Men,” “I Will Survive,” “Hot Stuff,” “Boogie Wonderland,” “Go West,” “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” and “I Love the Nightlife,” along with jaw-dropping, Olivier and Tony Award®-winning costumes, PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT is a sparkling visual spectacle, as well as a celebration of individuality, friendship, and a journey to the heart of FABULOUS!
