THEATER
“Priscilla the Party!,” staged by the creative team behind “Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical,” will play at London’s HERE @ Outernet from March 3. The musical was written by Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott, based on the 1994 film “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,” which followed two drag performers and a transgender woman who travel across the desert to perform their unique style of cabaret.
“Priscilla the Party!” transitions from a musical into an immersive party, where guests can choose between a premium dining experience, or opt to sit or stand on the dance floor. The show will feature classic songs including “Hotstuff,” “It’s Raining Men,” “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” “Finally,” “Go West,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “Boogie Wonderland,” “Shake Your Groove Thing” and “I Will Survive.”
