LONG LIVE THE QUEENS, THEY LOVE THE NIGHTLIFE

- MARK MURRAY

THE timeless classics of Priscilla – Queen of the Desert will be belted out at the Clink Theatre in Port Douglas for the next three weeks after the opening of a locally made production.

The Douglas Theatre Arts Group will bring the show to life in all its sequined glory until April 17, despite a recent Covid scare from a number of its cast leading up to opening night, which was Thursday.

”I am proud to be part of such a talented group of people,” said vocal coach Alteouise DeVaugn.

“What we accomplish­ed in the lead up to opening night made me believe the standard of the show could move anywhere.”

The cast is entirely made up of Port Douglas and surroundin­g area artists and is promising a “full showgirl” good time at the popular theatre on Mowbray St.

The performanc­e is choreograp­hed by renowned dance coach Saskia Turner.

The first three have sold out with the musical set to run for a further eight nights following Sunday’s performanc­e, including Easter weekend. Tickets are still available.
