The Broadway and West End musical comedy sensation follows three friends on a hilarious and heartwarming road trip across the Australian Outback to stage the show of a lifetime. Priscilla Queen Of The Desert is a joyous celebration of unity, love, and being unapologetically yourself.

Starring Adèle Anderson (Fascinating Aïda) as Bernadette, Kevin Clifton (Strictly Come Dancing, Chicago) as Tick/Mitzi, Nick Hayes (Groundhog Day, Remembrance Monday) as Felicia/Adam, and Peter Duncan (Hairspray, Pretender) as Bob/Preacher, this production is bolder and more fabulous than ever.

Directed by Olivier Award-nominee Ian Talbot OBE, with jaw-dropping choreography by Olivier Award-winner Matt Cole, and stunning, all-new costumes by BAFTA-winner Vicky Gill (Strictly Come Dancing), this musical extravaganza is packed with an iconic soundtrack full of your favourite 80s and 90s disco and dance anthems, including; HOT STUFF, IT'S RAINING MEN, I WILL SURVIVE, GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN, FINALLY and many more.

Be fierce, be fabulous, and get ready to SHAKE YOUR GROOVE THING once again!

The Palace Theatre of Varieties opened on Whit Monday 1891 and cost its owners the then colossal sum of £40,500. In the late 1970’s the Palace Theatre underwent a major refurbishment and re-opened in 1981 with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar and has since then retained its position as the premier provincial touring venue.
