PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT to Make LA Debut at Pantages Theatre, 5/28

The outrageously funny, Tony Award-Winning Broadway musical PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT will celebrate its L.A. Premiere at Hollywood's Pantages Theatre for a limited three-week engagement, May 28 - June 16, 2013.

PRISCILLA tells the uplifting story of a trio of friends on a road trip of a lifetime, who hop aboard a battered old bus searching for love and friendship in the middle of the Australian outback and end up finding more than they could ever have dreamed. An international hit with over 500 dazzling, 2011 Tony Award-winning costumes, PRISCILLA features a hit parade of dance-floor favorites including "It's Raining Men," "Finally" and "I Will Survive."

This Los Angeles Premiere engagement follows the recent Broadway run of PRISCILLA at the Palace Theatre.
