| - We absolutely loved this show! The performers are all pros, in our opinion, who pour their hearts into their roles and really put on a SHOW. Of course, it's over the top! Of course, it's raunchy, but it was tastefully raunchy, if that makes sense. I really felt for the lead character, played by the wonderful Wade McCollum, the troubled father who's been hiding his true self from his only son. He really conveyed those feelings of angst and fear. His traveling companions were also wonderful in their roles, especially the young upstart, Bryan Willis, who gave such a fun, kicky performance that I found myself smiling whenever he was on stage. His banter with Bernadette, played by Scott Willis, is priceless and they pull off their respective roles with great panache. I had tears in my eyes a couple of times and found myself really rooting for these characters to find what they were looking for. The Priscilla bus was a marvel of set decoration and I give the crew kudos for pulling off such great sets on such a small stage. A great, grand, funny, sad, sassy show, highly recommended. I laughed, cried, and enjoyed myself thoroughly! All the actors really belted out their songs, the dancing was just plain fun, and the costumes were amazing and absurd - the costume designer has a fabulous imagination and the quick changes were amazing. Brava, ladies, brava!
