Priscilla musical heads to Broadway and West End

The producers of a Sydney theater adaptation of cult movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert are laying the groundwork to take the musical to London and Broadway. The wild success Priscilla is enjoying in Sydney with disco-loving straight women ages 20 to 40 could be duplicated with Broadway fans, especially those who delighted in Mamma Mia! according to the New York Post.

Broadway insiders estimate that Priscilla, with its 23 tons of scenery, 514 costumes, and vats of glitter, could cost as much as $15 million to mount. (The Advocate)
