Photo Coverage: PRISCILLA Meets the Press!

The North American Premiere of Priscilla Queen of the Desert is set to drive into Toronto this October at the Princess of Wales Theatre, and BWW was on hand to meet Priscilla herself this past Friday at her official unveiling.  She truly is a magnificient sight! She is 8.5M long, weighs 5 whole tonnes and has 30,000 LED lights (that can help her change colour, costume and mood).  You truly have to see her in the flesh to appreciate her beauty, but BWW is thrilled to bring you pictures before the show gets its audience!

Priscilla is already a world-renowned hit with successful productions in Australia and London. It is scheduled to begin performances on Broadway at the Palace Theatre February 28th with official opening night being March 20th, 2011. Before that it will do a 12 week run in Toronto beginning October 12th (official opening October 26th, 2010).

As previously announced, the production stars Will Swenson (Tick/Mitzi), Tony Sheldon (Bernadette), Nick Adams (Adam/Felicia), and C. David Johnson (Bob). Completing the cast is Jacqueline B. Arnold (Diva), James Brown III (Jimmy), Trek Bucciino (Benjamin), Nathan Lee Graham (Miss Understanding), J. Elaine Marcos (Cynthia), Anastacia McCleskey (Diva), Mike McGowan (Frank), Jessica Phillips (Marion), Steve Schepis (Farrah), Keala Settle (Shirley), Ashley Spencer (Diva), Thom Allison, Kyle Brown, Gavin Lodge, Jeff Metzler, BRyan West, Tad Wilson, Joshua Buscher, Susan Dunstan, David Lopez, Ellyn Marie Marsh and Eric Sciotto
