Priscilla Queen of the Desert stars Nick Adams, Tony Sheldon, and Will Swenson will lead the Broadway cast of the musical in a medley of the show’s most popular dance floor hits — “It’s Raining Men” and “I Will Survive” — during the premiere week of Rosie O’Donnell’s new daily talk show, The Rosie Show, airing on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, on Thursday, October 13.

Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott have adapted Priscilla from the Academy Award-winning film about three friends searching for love and friendship in the middle of the Australian outback. Simon Phillips has direction the production, which features a score of over 20 dance-floor classics, a company of 27, and with a dazzling array of more than 500 outrageous costumes.

The Rosie Show will premiere on Monday, October 10, and air weeknights Monday through Friday (check local listings). It will feature O’Donnell’s hilarious take on current events, celebrity and human interest guests, comedy and games, live performances by top artists and a behind the scenes look at O’Donnell — and her staff — as she settles into a new world and embarks upon a new chapter in her life.
