| - Priscilla is a funny, brassy, high energy musical filled with a lot of great songs, bright costumes, and a super cast!
The basic outline--a group of female impersonators travels from Sydney, Australia to Alice Springs in the center of the country. Along the way, they have various incidents--some funny, some not funny at all! The story is not deep. It's just what it needs to be the move the show along. The thing here is the music and the costumes.
This is a national tour show of Priscilla which was to be at the Venetian until the middle of September, but sadly, ticket sales have not been good and the show is ending July 22nd. It's sad that a city the size of Las Vegas, the home of Frank Marino and the city where female impersonator Kenny Kerr brought this kind of entertainment to this city, is not supporting this show. So, if you want to see it, you'll have to go quickly.
The show is just about 2 hours in length, and it's goes by quickly. You'll be amazed when you look at your watch after the show. The cast is excellent and the staging is very well done. And of course, the costumes are over the top. You'll smile and laugh almost the entire show!
Of the songs other reviewers have listed, none mentioned my favorite--MacArthur Park. It's also one of the funniest dance routines in the entire show. Locals, there's a 2 for 1 discount for the remainder of the shows. Go see it!
