'Priscilla' run is winding down
'Priscilla' reign on Broadway is nearing the endThe wild -- and exuberant -- ride of "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" is coming to an end on Broadway, The Associated Press reports. Producers said Wednesday that the musical, adapted from the 1994 film comedy, will close June 24 after 23 previews and 526 performances. The show is about three drag performers who set off through the harsh Australian desert in a bus and along the way encounter the reality of intolerance and do a lot of lip-synching. It opened in March 2011 and won the Tony Award for costume design. One of the three leads, Tony Sheldon, also was nominated for leading actor in a musical.
