About 

Based on the 1994 popular movie of the same name, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, follows the journey of two drag queens – Tick and Adam – and a transgender woman, Bernadette, as they travel across Australia in their bus named Priscilla. Tick has been asked to perform at a hotel in Alice Springs by his estranged wife, Marion. Taking Adam and Bernadette along with him, the trio drive from Sydney to the remote resort town in the middle of the desert. Tick tells his companions that the trip is a favour to his wife, from whom he is separated, but does not reveal that he also has an 8-yr-old son who he does not know – but who wants to meet his father. As they head west, Tick, Adam and Bernadette learn to accept and support each other – whilst encountering a number of strange and colourful characters. After experiencing violent homophobic threats, Adam is forced to realise that not everyone accepts his flamboyant lifestyle and Bernadette opens up to the possibility of love again following the death of her husband. Upon reaching Alice Springs, Tick finally meets his son, Benjamin, who accepts his father’s homosexuality and drag queen persona. The trio of Tick, Adam and Bernadette perform at the resort and realise that they have forged a bond that will last forever. Full of well-known pop songs and supported by three spectacular divas on stage, Priscilla Queen of the Desert is a flamboyant, funny, disco-fuelled musical that gets the audience up on their feet!
