Priscilla, Queen of the Desert Murphy,SS

Priscilla - Königin Der Wüste: Musical von Stephan Elliott und Allan Scott: Priscilla, Queen of the Desert Murphy,SS

Tick's appearances as a drag queen in Sydney are only moderately successful. When his ex-wife answers and asks him to perform in the hotel she manages in Alice Springs, he brings two friends together, Bernadette, a transsexual who is no longer very fresh, and the young Adam. They embark on the journey of a lifetime across the Australian outback in a dismantled bus named Priscilla. On the way, they do not always expect conflict-free encounters with the inhabitants of a mining town, an urbane Aboriginal tourist guide and the auto mechanic Bob, who has his eye on Bernadette. With Bob's help, Priscilla actually makes it to Alice Springs. Tick ​​looks anxiously towards the meeting with his son: Will Benji accept him for who he is?

 

Stephan Elliott's film was a surprise hit and won an Oscar in 1995. Numerous disco super hits can be heard in the musical adaptation - from “It's Raining Men” by the Weather Girls to Tina Turner's “What's Love Got To Do With It” to the Village People hit “Go West”. For the first time in Austria: glitter costumes, big hearts and hits non-stop!

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert by Murphy, S. S., From (2021/2022), Directed by Christoph Drewitz,, Conductor Tom Bitterlich, Grosser Saal Musiktheater, Linz, Austria
