Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical will play the Palace Theatre on Broadway starting Feb. 28, 2011, producers announced on Sept. 15.
West Side Story will exit the famed venue in early January. Priscilla's opening night will be March 20. Written by Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott, and directed by Simon Phillips, the musical inspired by the film of the same name will make its pre-Broadway, North American debut this fall when it begins performances at The Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto for a 12-week engagement beginning Oct. 12, officially opening October 26.
The show is already popular in London and Australia. Olivier Award nominee Tony Sheldon ("Bernadette"), Tony Award nominee Will Swenson ("Tick"/"Mitzi") and Nick Adams ("Adam"/"Felicia") star as "the trio of friends on a heart-warming, uplifting adventure who hop aboard a battered old bus searching for love and friendship in the middle of the Australian outback and end up finding more than they could ever have dreamed," according to production notes.
