WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, the musical stage adaptation of the 1994 Oscar-winning Australian film, receives its European premiere. The show is directed by Simon Phillips, written by Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott, and stars Jason Donovan as Mitzi/Tick, Tony Sheldon as Bernadette, Oliver Thornton as Felicia/Adam, and Clive Carter as Bob.
In the show, which premiered in Australia in 2006, Sydney drag queen Mitzi (aka Tick) and her two fish-out-of-water friends, Felicia (Adam) and transsexual Bernadette, head west across the desert to Alice Springs in their battered old bus. Like the film, the musical is fashioned around classic disco hits including "I Love the Nightlife," "I Will Survive", "Shake Your Groove Thing" and "Finally".

With the Menier Chocolate Factory's revival of La Cage aux Folles doing brisk business at London's Playhouse Theatre, is there room for another musical celebration of drag culture in the West End? The answer, as proved by Simon Phillips' production of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert -- a musical staging of the popular 1994 Australian film -- is definitely yes, even if the show eschews anything resembling emotional nuance for an explosion of huge hair, teetering heels, outrageous costumes, crude humor, lip synching and a dash of audience participation. Subtlety is left in the dust and spectacle is the thing - and it is undeniably spectacular.
