"Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" is a jukebox musical based on the 1994 film of the same name. The musical follows the journey of three drag performers - Tick/Mitzi, Bernadette, and Adam/Felicia - as they travel across the Australian desert in a bus named Priscilla, to perform their drag show in Alice Springs. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and obstacles, including bigotry and homophobia, as well as their own personal struggles and relationships.
The musical features a range of popular songs, including "I Will Survive," "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," and "Don't Leave Me This Way," which are seamlessly integrated into the story. The elaborate and colorful costumes, including a giant high-heeled shoe and a bus made of feathers, add to the spectacle of the show.
As the trio journeys through the desert, they learn about each other and themselves, and their experiences ultimately lead to personal growth and acceptance. "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" celebrates diversity, individuality, and the power of friendship, while also addressing important social issues.
