Resplendent in flamboyant ball gowns, looking down over the vast red Australian desert: for three showgirls (Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce) it was the dream of a lifetime, a four week cabaret engagement in Alice Springs. The problem is simply getting there intact, along with their battered, pink tour bus, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It's not easy being a drag queen in the outback! They came. They conquered. They looked fabulous. This colourful, moving extravaganza was a box-office smash, starring Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving, and Guy Pearce, as three drag performers braving the vast, rugged Australian outback. An Academy Award winner for Costume Design, Priscilla is a hilarious, glittery classic, filled with iconic pop hits from the Village People, ABBA, Gloria Gaynor and many more.
