ABOUT THE SHOW
Based on the 1994 popular movie of the same name, Priscilla Queen of the Desert follows the journey of two drag queens, Tick and Adam, and a transgender woman, Bernadette, as they travel across Australia in their bus, named Priscilla. Tick has been asked to perform at a hotel in Alice Springs by his estranged wife, Marion.
The trio drive from Sydney to the remote resort town in the middle of the desert. Tick tells his companions that the trip is a favour to his wife, from whom he is separated, but does not reveal that he also has an 8 year old son he does not know, but who now wants to meet his father.
As they head west, Tick, Adam, and Bernadette learn to accept and support each other, whilst encountering
a number of strange and colorful characters. They turn heads in Broken Hill and get in a fight at Coober Pedy, and when their bus breaks down, they are rescued by an open-minded mechanic. After experiencing violent homophobic threats, Adam is forced to realize that not everyone is accepting of his flamboyant lifestyle, whilst Bernadette opens up to the possibility of love again following the death of her husband.
Upon reaching Alice Springs, Tick finally meets his son, Benji, who instantly accepts his father’s homosexuality
and drag queen persona. The trio perform at the resort and realize that they have forged a bond that will
last forever.
