Habima: "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"

Stage adaptation of the cult film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: The musical follows an especially colorful group—three drag queens who set out in a pink bus they call “Priscilla” on a funny and moving journey to perform a drag show at the end of the world.

This is a story about a father’s love for his son, unwavering friendship, and celebrating the individual’s right to live freely and fulfill themselves. Accompanied by a dreamlike soundtrack of the greatest and most timeless pop and disco hits, spectacular costumes, and a message of openness, inclusion, and acceptance. A dazzling and magnificent production featuring dozens of actors, dancers, singers, musicians, and drag queens. Giant sets and hundreds of costumes and wigs in a musical production unlike anything ever seen on the Israeli theater stage.
