Win tickets to hit musical Priscilla - Queen of the Desert

-

Elaborate costumes, dance floor anthems and a giant pink bus are about to hit Auckland.

Presented by Lunchbox Theatrical Production­s and Nullabor Production­s, Priscilla - Queen of the Desert opens at The Civic this October. The show will be filled with dance hits like It’s Raining Men, I Love the Nightlife, and Boogie Wonderland.

The North Shore Times is giving away two tickets to opening night on Friday October 14 in a draw.

Winners will also be invited to a special Priscilla birthday celebratio­n afternoon tea at The Civic at 2.30pm on Friday, October 7 with special guest star Ray Meagher (aka Alf Stewart from Home & Away).

Adapted from a 1994 film, Priscilla follows two drag queens and a trans woman making their way from Sydney to Alice Springs in a pink bus to perform a drag show.

Audiences can expect more than 500 outrageous costumes, 200 headdresse­s and a 10 metre customised pink bus when it lands in Auckland.

The show premiered in Australia in 2006, before making its way to New Zealand in 2008 and eventually to West End and Broadway.

It sold 100,000 tickets when it was last here and producer Garry McQuinn says New Zealand audiences were a highlight of that tour.

Priscilla runs until November 6 at The Civic.

Winners will be announced on Monday, October 3.
