Direct from the West End and starring Jason Donovan, the feel-good international hit sensation Priscilla Queen of the Desert: The Musical is coming to Tel Aviv’s Menora Mivtachim Arena from July 4 through 9.
Based on the popular 1994 film of the same name, Priscilla Queen of the Desert follows two drag queens and a transsexual who buy a run-down old bus (they call it Priscilla) and set out on a road trip across the Australian Outback when one of them, Tick (played by Donovan), is invited by his ex-wife to perform his drag show at her far-away resort. During their journey, the trio encounters an array of Australian citizens, some of who aren’t receptive to their lifestyle, while strengthening their own friendship.
Priscilla originally opened in Australia and after a sellout two year run, opened in London’s West End followed by Broadway in the United States. It has won numerous awards all over the world, including Olivier and Tony awards.
With a dazzling array of outrageous costumes and a hit parade of dancefloor classics including “I Will Survive,” “Hot Stuff,” “Finally,” “Boogie Wonderland,” “Go West,” “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” and “I Love The Nightlife,” rush to get your tickets today.
