David Ian Productions and the Ambassador Theatre Group are delighted to announce that the international smash hit musical PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT will play The Opera House, Winter Gardens Blackpool from 5th to 10th August 2013 starring NOEL SULLIVAN.
Get ready for the ride of your life! Based on the smash-hit movie, PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT THE MUSICAL is the heart-warming, uplifting adventure of three friends who hop aboard a battered old bus searching for love and friendship and end up finding more than they could have ever dreamed of. With a dazzling array of outrageous costumes and a hit parade of dance floor favourites including ‘It’s Raining Men’, ‘Say a Little Prayer’, ‘Go West’, ‘Hot Stuff’ and ‘Always on My Mind’, this wildly fresh and funny new musical is a journey to the heart of FABULOUS!
