Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical is the feel-good international hit sensation! 

Adapted from the 1994 movie about three Australian drag queens on an epic road trip through the outback, Priscilla is the heart-warming, uplifting adventure of three friends who hop aboard a battered old bus searching for love and friendship and end up finding more than they could have dreamed of.

Priscilla combines the campy sentimentality about drag life epitomized by “La Cage Aux Folles” with a singalong soundtrack spanning a bewildering array of pop from at least three decades.

As in the movie a Sydney drag performer, Tick, professionally and personally known as Mitzi, receives a stern summons from Marion, the wife he left back in the sticks, who is determined to bring about a meeting between Tick and the son he has never known.


Happily for all, Marion runs a casino in remote Alice Springs, and invites Tick to put on a show. He recruits two performing pals to join the trek, without telling them of his ulterior motives: Bernadette, a mostly retired veteran of the drag scene who views the trip as a useful distraction from his grief over the death of his young lover; and Felicia (Nick Adams), a hard-bodied mischief maker whose barbed repartee with the disapproving Bernadette constitutes a large chunk of the book.

Stocking up on wigs and heels, they pile into a bus acquired by Felicia with the help of his mother’s checkbook. Priscilla, as they christen their lavishly appointed means of transport, twirls around at center stage for much of the show, its walls serving as video screens for fancy digital light shows or flapping upward to expose the improbably deluxe interior, where the ladies swig cocktails and trade acid quips.

It’s coming to the Newport Performing Arts Theater this summer May 2014!
