New York City - "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," is the feel-good theatrical experience of the year. Based on the smash-hit movie, 'Priscilla' is the heart-warming, uplifting adventure of three friends who hop aboard a battered old bus searching for love and friendship and end up finding more than they could have ever dreamed of.

Featuring a score of over 20 dance-floor classics, a company of 27, and with a dazzling array of more than 500 outrageous costumes, the spectacular new stage musical stars Tony Award nominee Will Swenson, Olivier Award nominee Tony Sheldon, and Nick Adams as the trio of friends. Simon Phillips directs the show written by Stephan Elliot and Allan Scott. Costumes are by Academy Award winning designers Tim Chappel and Lizzie Gardiner.

Leading the group of producers is Bette Midler, singer, actress and comedian, also known (by her stage name) as The Divine Miss M. During her more than 40-year career, Midler has been nominated for two Academy Awards, and won four Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes, three Emmy Awards, and a special Tony Award. Midler has produced many of her own shows in Las Vegas and around the world but this is her first time producing on Broadway.

Nederlander, Garry McQuinn, Liz Koops, Roy Furman, Terry Allen Kramer, Terri and Timothy Childs, Stewart F. Lane, Bonnie Comley, Debbie Bisno, Paul BoskindScott Mauro and David Mirvish.
