Frequently Asked Questions

When is Priscilla Queen of the Desert in Brighton in 2026?

Priscilla Queen of the Desert plays at Theatre Royal Brighton from Tuesday 16 June to Saturday 20 June 2026 as part of the 30th anniversary UK and Ireland tour.

Where is Priscilla Queen of the Desert being performed in Brighton?

The musical is being performed at Theatre Royal Brighton on New Road in the city centre, a historic venue that regularly hosts major touring West End shows and large-scale musicals.

What is Priscilla Queen of the Desert about?

The story follows three friends – drag performers Tick and Adam and transgender woman Bernadette – who hop aboard a battered old bus called Priscilla for a road trip across the Australian outback to perform a gig and reconnect with family. Along the way they cause chaos, face prejudice, and meet colourful characters, but also discover friendship, acceptance, and the courage to live openly, all against a backdrop of uplifting disco tunes.

Has Priscilla Queen of the Desert won any awards?

The musical is based on the film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design. Stage productions have earned many honours, including a Laurence Olivier Award and a Tony Award for Best Costume Design, plus numerous national awards and nominations for best musical, costumes, performances, and production across Australia, Canada, Italy, Argentina, Spain, South Africa, and France.

What kind of music and performances can I expect?

You can expect an iconic jukebox-style soundtrack packed with 80s and 90s disco and dance anthems such as Hot Stuff, It’s Raining Men, I Will Survive, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and Finally, all performed live with big vocals and high-energy choreography. The Brighton production promises spectacular new costumes, bold staging, and a party atmosphere that turns many songs into full-scale, colourful production numbers.

How long does the performance in Brighton last?

Performances of Priscilla Queen of the Desert typically run for around 2 hours 20 to 2 hours 30 minutes including an interval, so you should plan for a full evening at the theatre. It is a good idea to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start time to find your seat, visit the bar or toilets, and settle in without rushing.

Is Priscilla Queen of the Desert suitable for children?

The show includes adult humour, some strong language, and themes involving sexuality, homophobia, and gender identity, so it is mainly recommended for older teenagers and adults. Parents of younger teens should consider how comfortable they are with drag performances, innuendo, and mature subject matter before deciding to bring them.

How can I get cheap tickets for Priscilla in Brighton?

To find cheaper tickets, look at off-peak performances such as midweek evenings rather than Friday or Saturday, as prices often start lower on these dates. Compare different seating areas, including upper levels or side and restricted-view seats, and book early because the lowest-priced ticket allocations usually sell first.

Are there discounts or special offers available for Brighton performances?

Discounts may appear as early booking offers, group rates, and occasional promotions on selected performances or seat bands. Signing up for Theatre Royal Brighton and ticket-seller newsletters, checking membership schemes, and keeping an eye on off-peak performances can help you catch these deals when they are released.

Can I get last minute tickets for Priscilla Queen of the Desert in Brighton?

Last minute tickets may be available if some performances are not sold out, and returns or extra seats are sometimes released closer to the date. This can be a good way to pick up cheaper seats if you are flexible about where you sit and which performance you attend, but for busy shows or larger groups it is safer to book ahead.

What is the best way to travel to Theatre Royal Brighton?

Theatre Royal Brighton is in the city centre near the Royal Pavilion and is within walking distance of Brighton railway station and many bus routes, so public transport is convenient. If you plan to drive, check city centre car parks and evening parking charges beforehand, and allow extra time for traffic before the performance starts.
