There’s a happening party in town and its name is Priscilla. Yes it’s ‘Priscilla the Party!’
Based on the 1994 film ‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’ and the very popular stage show of the same name, this new version is immersive, has fabulous cocktails, (Drag Star Martini, Stiletto Fizz, and Alice Springs Sangria just to name a few), good food if you want it, and a fantastic cast in a venue as central as they come – Here at Internet – next to Tottenham Court Road.
And the show has it all – sequins and makeup galore, amazing and gravity defying costumes, songs that we all know and love, and plenty of breaks to refresh your drink. It’s all done tongue in cheek, and with a wink.
The story is that three drag queens band together in the outback of Australia to perform shows but encounter less than friendly locals, but all they want to do is to perform. Along their journey their van breaks down, homophobic locals rear their ugly selves, they learn things about each along their journey, combatting any miscreant who gets in their way, cause a bit of trouble, fall in love (though not with each other), rekindle old friendships, and sing the best disco songs ever: I Will Survive, It’s Raining Men, Born This Way, Go West – and lots lots more that will have you dancing along, either in your seat or standing around the moving stages.
There are different types of tickets to purchase, which you can read about here: www.priscillatheparty.com/#GroupsSection
They are all fabulous options!
And the cast are all having a great time (as are we) and playing along with the fun every step of the way. Jokes and jokes galore, some inappropriate and all very funny, get huge laughs. Meanwhile audiences are having the best time ever, singing along with the tunes, and leaving the show on a natural high (or alcoholic high, whatever tickles your fancy). ‘Priscilla the Party’ is a fun fun show and I’ll go back again and watch it for a third time.
