Theatre: Roxy’s Downtown, Wichita
This jukebox musical, adapted from the film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert tells the story of two drag queens and a trans woman who are contracted to perform a drag show in the outback of Australia. A comedy of errors from the start, through the use of well-known pop songs and iconic disco songs, the story becomes a heart-wrenching tale of homophobia, self identity, and widening of social attitudes and moral compasses.
