The Buell Theatre: 9/3 –
9/15
A blitz of glitz and
falsie tits, “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” is an explosion of vibrant Life that
is simply scrumptious!
It’s “Mama Mia” for
those who wish to reminisce about the gay dance floors of the eighties. All
those famous songs to which you shook your booty in that era are blasted out
across the Buell Theatre with joyous abandon. Both your eyes and ears will be
dazzled by this eye-popping, ear-pleasing show.
The book is nearly
non-existent and the dialogue, much of which gets lost in the otherwise magical
melee, is to this reviewer’s sensibilities unimportant.
The actors are all handsome
and range from pretty to gorgeous in their outrageous regalia and they are just
about perfect in following Mel Brooks’ mandate in “The Producers” to “Keep it
Gay. Keep it Gay! Keep it Gay!”
If you happen to be
as much of a light junkie as this reviewer you will be dazzled by the flashy,
hypnotic Technicolor lighting design.
The Tony Award-Winning costume design is
smashing!
I’m not sure why
everyone wasn’t out of their seats and dancing in the aisles! Perhaps it was
just that stodgy group of first night theatre critics afraid to let their inner
drag queen out!
It’s
a raging fun partay and you will be SO glad you went!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
HOOOOOO!!!!!
