PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT
Based on the Oscar winning film, Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical tells the story of three drag performers who set off from Sydney across the Australian desert in a battered old bus, christened Priscilla. The show contains over 20 classic disco hits such as ‘I Will Survive’ and ‘I Love the Nightlife’.

Please note the music in “Priscilla” is written in the contemporary style of the 70’s and 80’s. The songs of choice should show an understanding of the style of the era. Songs from “Wicked”, “Phantom” etc are not desirable choices. Vocal gymnastics, embellishments and improvisation are not a requirement. The Musical Director wants to hear a clear contemporary tone and a natural uncontrived pop/contemporary vocal approach to the songs.

Select cast members from Priscilla will also have roles or covers in the international sensation, Burn the Floor. Once a cruise select cast members will perform in Epic Variety; a farewell show that brings together the talented casts of Priscilla and Burn The Floor in one theatrical event

TICK - Male 35-40

Outstanding acting, dance, singing (baritone – tenor) and lip-synching ability essential. With an unremarkable and essentially straight exterior, Tick is a discontented drag queen, the best in the business. Estranged husband of Marion and absent father to 8 year old Benjamin, his journey from disillusionment to fulfillment through being reunited with his son is the central core of the story. Leading Role (played in film by Hugo Weaving)
