Priscilla Queen of the Desert starts previews on Broadway tonight

After its North American début in Toronto, Priscilla Queen of the Desert begins previews on Broadway at the Palace Theatre.

The official opening is scheduled for March 20, but don't hold your breath, with Broadway musicals anything might happen.

Olivier Award nominee Tony Sheldon will play Bernadette; Hair Tony Award nominee Will Swenson is Tick/Mitzi; and La Cage aux Folles actor Nick Adams will play Adam/Felicia; these are the three friends who set out “on a heart-warming, uplifting adventure. [They] 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.”
