PRISCILLA!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last Saturday I went to see "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert - The Musical" At the Palace Theatre in West End.
And OH MY GOD it was AMAZINGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if you have heard of it, but it's only a year old here in London and, as I'm told, a huge deal Down Under in Australia. This fabby show is about two transvestites and a transsexual who are on their way to Alice Springs in the desert from Sydney, on an old, beat up tour bus called Priscilla. The reason behind this is because Tick/Mitzi's (played by Jason Donovan) ex-wife now owns the casino there and is offering them a few weeks of performing and a change of scene from dingy downtown Sydney. With Tick is Bernadette (Don Gallagher) a transsexual whose lover has recently died, and (in my opinion) the absolute STAR of the show, party boy/drag queen Adam/Felicia played by Oliver Thornton ♥, the yummiest thing since toasted Starbursts (try them over a campfire...mmmm). Seriously. The show was absolutely fantastic but seeing gorgeous Oliver strutting his stuff up there in a pink sparkly thong, suspenders, heels and not much else was the big, fat, juicy cherry on top of one of the most scrumptious cakes in a long, long time. I actually can't express how utterly fantastic the show was and Oliver, and if I could, I would probably be up there dancing with them. In fact, in my gap year, I was thinking of creating the job title "Official Diva of Advertising" for Priscilla and then I could work with Mr. Thornton.
And to add to my stalker abilities, here is a factfile of my favourite actor in the whole world (off the top of my head, of course):
NAME: Oliver Rhoe Thornton
BORN: Abergavenny, Monmouthshire (next door to herefordshire, where I live!! :D), 10th September 1979
OCCUPATION: Currently starring as Adam/Felicia in Priscilla in London
So go on those websites and see for yourself how utterly stunning Oliver Thornton is. I would put on a picture myself, but:
a) there are so many to choose from I would be all night drooling over them before I chose about 100
b) there are probably lots of copyrights on the pics and I don't want to risk infringement
Honestly I would keep telling you every detail about Oliver but I already sound like a deranged stalker and I am quite tired and have SO MUCH revision to do tomorrow I need a good night's sleep.
Go and see Priscilla. I gave it 100000000000000000000recurring out of 10 and I've seen almost all of the West End musicals. And like I told Becky: It is way, WAY better than The Lion King. Which is amazing, if you've seen it, so you'll know my standards.
Oh, and just in case I didn't mention it:
OLIVER THORNTON IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND YOU WOULD BE MAD NOT TO WATCH PRISCILLA AND FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM.
Actually please do be mad - all the more for me!! :D
Night night xxx
In fact I am so obsessed I actually downloaded the soundtrack to Priscilla as well, which has been playing on a loop since I got it. Well, only the songs Oliver sings in, natch. :D
ReplyDeleteI ♥ OLIVER THORNTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
