Ben Richards to Play Tick in West End Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Ben Richards will assume the role of Tick in the West End company of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert the Musical, playing at the Palace Theatre, on June 1. He will be replacing Jason Donovan.

The performer is perhaps best known from his work on television’s The Bill and Footballer’s Wives. His West End stage credits include Guys and Dolls, Grease, Saturday Night Fever and The Full Monty.

Richards will join a company that also stars Don Gallagher (Bernadette), Oliver Thornton (Adam), and John Bowe (Bob).

Based on the Oscar-winning film, and written by Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott and directed by Simon Phillips, Priscilla tells the story of Tick, Bernadette and Adam, a glamorous Sydney-based performing trio who agree to take their show to the middle of the Australian outback.
