Two transvestites and a transsexual, heading deep into Australian redneck territory in a bus called Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, flaunting her way into the Palace Theatre - it's a recipe for a hit musical. The original movie was ripe for an uber-camp stage version - in Sydney cinemas, it played in 'dragarama', with a glitter ball and dancing in the aisles - and this production doesn't disappoint. It's been Australia's most successful musical of all time, with two years of packed houses and audiences on their feet for disco numbers including Downtown, Venus, Go West, I Will Survive, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Hot Stuff and We Belong. The dialogue is even ruder than in the movie, the costumes more extravagant and Priscilla herself a six tonne prop covered in almost a thousand LED lights. Soho's Palace Theatre is an ideal venue for this glittering party, especially in the raucous Friday evening performances.
