It’s last call at The Regent Theatre, the disco ball is spinning, the spotlights are in waiting, and the star is having her shaft cranked for the last time. Come April 27, the mascara will be running as the 28 cast, 8 musicians and 53 crew who have kept Priscilla on the road since October 2006 will blow Melbourne an air kiss farewell.
But through the tears, Priscilla has a glint in her eye knowing she closes in Melbourne as the most successful homegrown musical of all time. After 611 performances, close to a million new friends and grossing over $80 million at the box office throughout her Australian season, Priscilla has certainly earned the right to shake her groove thang.
