First off, we sat so close that we got showered with these....
If you've seen the movie, you know exactly where they came from.
Of course its no surprise that the show was a hit with us. Its an open and shut case when there are drag queens dangling 20 feet off the ground on guide wires, a full sized pink bus on a revolving stage filled with over-the-top costumes (some with the ass cheeks cut out) all while fabulous disco standards are sung masterfully at full volume. Not to mention the audience was filled surprisingly with suburban Australian grand-ma's who were not only unfazed by the consistent gay references and overt sexual innuendo, but who clapped, sang and danced in their seats throughout the performance.
If you've never seen the movie, I urge you to rent it. It's a creative ride through a slice of life many don't understand. While it makes fun of itself all along, there are moments of serious pause that make you realize that the world is made up of many different types of people who are often victims of nonacceptance and ridicule. The characters in Priscilla deal with the blows in the only way they know how, with fabulosity and questionable grace. Proving in the end, that you cant ever keep a good bitch down especially if shes in platform shoes and a dress that would make Bob Mackie cream in his pants.
Two HUGE thumbs up!
