Description Priscilla tells the funny and moving story of three fish out of water who head across Australia, from Sydney to the outback to perform their show. Mitzi, Felicia and Bernadette make their own personal journeys of discovery as they cross the country in a battered old bus nicknamed Priscilla. Priscilla features 25 full-scale production numbers and a sensational song list with classic disco hits including: 'Don't Leave Me This Way', 'I Will Survive', 'Finally', 'I Love The Nightlife', 'Colour My World' and 'Shake Your Groove Thing'. With over 500 spectacular costumes, 200 extraordinary headdresses, 23 tonnes of scenery, and a 10 metre long customised bus weighing six tonnes as its sparkling centrepiece.
