Priscilla Queen Of The Desert continues to delight its West End audiences, and has recently extended its run at the Palace Theatre until May of next year. Theatre tickets are onsale now.

The flamboyant musical opened in March 2009 and has received critical acclaim, plus a Laurence Olivier award for best costume. New to the cast is Ben Richards, better known as PC Nathanial Roberts in the ITV police drama The Bill. Richards will replace Australian star Jason Donavan, who will be standing down from the role of Tick.

The musical is adapted from the 1994 film of the same name by Stephen Elliott, who also wrote the films screenplay. It follows the journey of three men in a cabaret act, one transsexual and two transvestites, who embark upon a journey across the Australian outback in a battered old bus. Along the way they find friendship, love and some very interesting characters.

Besides The Bill, Richards screen credits include Holby City and Footballer’s Wives. He has also appeared on the London stage in Guys And Dolls, Grease, The Full Monty and Saturday Night Fever.

The original cast of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert included Tony Sheldon as transsexual Bernadette, who has now been replaced by Don Gallagher. Oliver Thornton continues his role as Adam.

Priscilla Queen of the Desert has two things to celebrate – a Laurence Olivier award for best costume design, and its one year anniversary on the West End. The hit musical has been running to sell out audiences since March last year, and continues its success at the Palace Theatre in London, in Cambridge Circus. Theatre tickets are on sale now.

The musical version has been adapted from the Australian film of the same name, which follows a transsexual and two drag queens across the Australian outback in a flamingo pink camp-mobile named Priscilla.

Jason Donavan, still starring as Tick, says of the show “How many times in a career do you get to open a show like this? I’ve been lucky with Joseph [And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat] and this.  I’m proud to be here for a year.  A year on the West End is pretty good for any show… and we get standing ovations every night. It’s an infectious, fun show, what’s there not to like about it?” This West End London theatre production promises to be electric.

Recent cast changes include Don Gallagher as transsexual Bernadette, and John Bowe as the rough and ready love interest, Bob.

The show features hit songs from the original soundtrack including “I Will Survive”, “Go West” and “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”.
