Hi all! Lots of great musicals are coming up this month... including one that I myself am appearing in! That would be Priscilla, Queen of the Damned - the latest comedy extravaganza from The Broadway Chorus. They are the group that is responsible for kick-starting my passion for musical theatre when I joined them back in 2000... yes, 10 whole years ago!
While there is no shortage of vampires stalking the airwaves and movie houses these days, "Priscilla" puts a different spin on things - here, the vampires are battled by a trio of heroic... drag queens. Yes, it's ghouls vs. glitter, with a bit of Frankenstein thrown in too, along with a great cross-section of Broadway and pop hits from Hair and Legally Blonde to Shrek, The Musical, and even Lady Gaga - as well as two uproarious all-new original numbers. It's scary good fun!
Priscilla runs from June 16 (preview) to 19 at the Waterfront Theatre.
Also coming up this month:
NINE - June 2-6
The musical interpretation of Fellini's "8 1/2", recently seen on the big screen.
GODSPELL - June 2-30
Often produced with highly unusual settings, this time the entire show takes place as an episode of the 60's TV show "Laugh-In".
LOVE AT FIRST BITE - June 10-12
A comic look at the vampire craze - this one featuring all original songs.
There's much, much more - check the Vancouver Musical Theatre Calendar for all the details.
Thanks for supporting Vancouver's incredible musical theatre scene.. "See you at the show!"
