STAGE TUBE: Wade McCollum and Bryan West Talk PRISCILLA Tour in Denver

By:



PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT THE MUSICAL makes its stop at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts this week. On this edition of "In Focus", host Eden goes backstage with two stars of the show -- Wade McCollum plays "Tick/Mitzi" and Bryan West "Adam/Felicia". Watch the interview below!

The first national tour of PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT THE MUSICAL plays The Buell Theatre now through September 15. The show stars Wade McCollum ("Tick/Mitzi"), Scott Willis ("Bernadette") and Bryan West ("Adam/Felicia") as the 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. Joe Hart stars as "Bob."

With more than 500 dazzling 2011 Tony Award-winning costumes, PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT THE MUSICAL features a hit parade of over 20 dance-floor favorites including "It's Raining Men," "Finally" and "I Will Survive."

PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT THE MUSICAL won a 2011 Tony Award for Best Costume Design for Academy Award winners Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner's designs. The new hit musical received three Best Musical award nominations from the Drama Desk, Drama League and Outer Critics Circle Award organizations. Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner were also honored with 2011 Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Costume Design.
