Description |
"Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" is based on the Oscar-winning film. It's an "on-stage" road movie with attitude and a busload of outrageous costumes and characters. Three fish out of water.. Mitzi, Felicia and Bernadette are heading west across the desert to Alice Springs in their battered old bus. They are each on their own personal journey of discovery, but together they put on a show unlike anything the locals have ever seen.
