Priscilla Queen of the Desert Review – Bridewell Theatre London
By Terry Eastham / August 5, 2024
Overall, then I guess it’s pretty obvious I enjoyed Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Sedos have put together and delivered a first-rate show that is fun with a capital ‘F’ and entertaining with a capital ‘E’ from start to finish. The perfect start to the Christmas season, if you don’t leave the theatre at least humming one of the songs, then just pop off and change your name to Ebenezer. If I had to sum up Priscilla Queen of the Desert in one word, it would be this FAB-U-LOUS!
