FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: The Musical

Priscilla Queen of the Desert's Glitz Blitz
8 / 10

And Priscilla Queen of the Desert (Palace Theatre) does indeed entertain, though the result may make you, like me, feel that there is such a thing as too much entertainment.

'Priscilla Queen of the Desert'
4 / 10

'Priscilla Queen of the Desert' is not so much a normal musical but rather a loud, oversized karaoke party and midnight drag show. You really want to have fun, but it is so aggressively campy that it soon becomes irritating and too much to stomach.
