Priscilla Queen of the Desert by CLOC Musical Theatre in Moorrabbin, Victoria (Australia)

What To Know About This Production

Based on the iconic Oscar-winning 1994 Australian film, PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT is the hilarious adventure of three loud, proud and very different friends who hop aboard a battered old bus bound for the outback to put on the show of a lifetime. Along the way, they strut, dance, sing, laugh, cry, and learn more about themselves – while singing up a storm to a non-stop parade of dance-floor classics including It’s Raining Men, Hot Stuff, I Will Survive, I Love the Nightlife, Go West, Colour My World, Boogie Wonderland, Shake Your Groove Thing and many more! 

We are looking for a dynamic and versatile cast who can not only meet the acting, singing and vocal requirements of the show but many of whom will need to be able to lyp-sync and look great in ‘drag’. Get ready to shake your groove thing and register from Friday November 1 for Priscilla auditions.
