Priscilla Queen of the Desert

A Show that Lifts the Winter Gloom

Based on the Oscar-winning film, Priscilla Queen of the Desert has become a firm favourite in the West End, with more glitter, wigs, high heels and lipstick than you can shake a stick at.

The show tells the heart-warming and uplifting story of Mitzi, Bernadette and Felicia, a glamorous Sydney based performing trio who agree to take their show to the middle of the Australian outback. The three friends set off in a battered old bus, Priscilla, in search of love and adventure, and end up finding a whole lot more!

Featuring 25 disco classics, outrageous comedy and sensational outfits, Priscilla Queen of the Desert is guaranteed to lift the winter gloom as the nights draw in.
