Based on the smash hit movie, Priscilla is the heartwarming, uplifting adventure of three friends, Tick, Bernadette, and Adam, a glamorous  Sydney-based performing trio who agree to take their show to the middle of the Australian Outback.  They hop aboard a battered old bus, “Priscilla”, searching for love and friendship and end up finding more than they could have ever dreamed.

Featuring a hit parade of dance floor favorites including “It’s Raining Men”, “I Will Survive”, “Hot Stuff”, “Finally”, “Boogie Wonderland”, “Go West”, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”, and “I Love the Nightlife”, this wildly fresh and funny musical is a journey to the heart of FABULOUS!
