'Three Aussie Poofs In A Bloody Big Pink Bus' -The Reviews — Page 6

For me, "Priscilla" is one of those rare shows that, not half-way through the first act, I know I have to go to see it again - and I'm not in the least bit a fan of "juke-box" musicals in general. There is so much going on in "Priscilla" you can't possibly take it all in during just one viewing. Other shows that had the same effect on me are "The Mystery of Edwin Drood", The Producers" and "The Drowsy Chaperone". "Priscilla" easily stands up to these highlights of musical theatre.

It's absolutely true. The people who really go crazy for this show are the matinee ladies and the straight women. And very often the husbands who get dragged along find themselves having a whale of a time as well. They are the ones who see the show multiple times and write fan mail to the cast. The gay crowd makes up only a small percentage of PRISCILLA's audience.

They've now opened upt the balcony midweek... that's a good sign.

Look what I just found while surfing the web. Hopefully, it'll be a long time before Priscilla's shoe ends up in this state.

You should see my bra!

That's a picture of my mum. It looks like she's holding up two enormous cheeses but she is in fact modelling her favourite bra. It's her favourite... holds up the old kickmasters a treat.

It was 1.5mtr wider in the Oz staging and poor Priscilla herself had a bit of a chop too before parking in London!

Not long back from London after seeing 'Prissy' for the 2nd time on Thursday night and I have to add to the praise for Craig Ryder as Tick - he did an excellent job. He was a lot less angsty than JD in the role and it was fascinating to see a different take on it. I would have been interested in seeing how JD had evolved the part, but I can see that next time.

Talking of which, I thought Tony Sheldon and Oliver Thornton were even more sensational in their roles than on March 10th. The audience reception wasn't quite as amazing as the first night (which probably ranks as one of the very best I've ever experienced), but it was still mightily enthusiastic. Heard lots of 'wows' on my way out.

Watched the Jonathon Ross interview and, aside from the tired old drug/Neighbours references, thought it was a pretty good bit of publicity for the show - esp JR's comment about wanting to go again, which seems to be a common sentiment among those who enjoy themselves at Priscilla.

Talked to the lovely Tony Sheldon and equally lovely Clive Carter after the show and they were both full of praise for Craig Ryder and very appreciative of the continuing audience reaction. So now I'm counting down to my next visit....

WOW! WOW! WOW!

LOOOOVED this show so much! Will definitely be going back. Far outdid my expectations, which were sky high already. Standout for me was Oliver Thornton. After hating his voice in Rent Remixed it suited this role PERFECT. Also loved Tony Sheldon and Jason Donovan. WOW at just the whole show. I think I actually gave out a scream at one point from laughing so much.

Anyone looking for a cheap way to see the show, seats E10/11 of the upper circle. GET THEM. Biggest bargain ever. Can see everything (just need to lean forward abit when they are in the very bottom corner) and considering they were half price of the seats to the side, behind and infront of them they were NOT RESTRICTED at all. Id take these over the gallery (and even back stalls) any day.

Upper circle, the one above the dress, but below the gallery so 3rd level out of 4.

Still buzzing now, it was so much better than I thought it would be.
