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

The musical is being performed at Curve, a modern theatre in Leicester’s Cultural Quarter, which regularly hosts large touring West End productions and major musicals.

What is Priscilla Queen of the Desert about?

The story follows three friends – drag performers Tick and Adam and transgender woman Bernadette – who travel across the Australian outback in a battered bus called Priscilla to put on a show and reconnect with family. Along the way they experience prejudice and mishaps but also discover friendship, acceptance, and the courage to live openly, all set to a soundtrack of uplifting disco and pop hits.

Has Priscilla Queen of the Desert won any awards?

The musical is based on the Oscar-winning film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which received the Academy Award for Best Costume Design. On stage, Priscilla has earned Laurence Olivier and Tony Awards for Best Costume Design and a long list of international honours, including multiple awards in Australia, Canada, Italy, Argentina, Spain, South Africa, and France for best musical, costumes, performances, and production.

What kind of music and performances can I expect?

You can expect a jukebox-style score full of classic 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 Leicester run features spectacular costumes, colourful staging, and party-style production numbers that turn the auditorium into a feel-good celebration.

How long does the performance in Leicester 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. Arriving at least 30 minutes before the start time gives you time to find your seat, visit the bar or toilets, and settle in comfortably.

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 Leicester?

To find cheaper tickets, look at off-peak performances such as early-week evenings, as these often have lower starting prices than Friday and Saturday nights. Compare prices for different seating areas, including higher levels or side and restricted-view seats, and try to book early because the lowest-priced ticket allocations usually sell first.

Are there discounts or special offers available for Leicester performances?

Discounts may include early booking offers, group rates, under-26 or concession prices, and periodic promotions on selected dates and seats. Signing up for Curve emails, checking membership or friend schemes, and keeping an eye on off-peak performances can help you spot special prices when they are announced.

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

Last minute tickets may be available if performances are not sold out, and returns or extra seats are sometimes released closer to the date. This can be a good way to find 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 Curve Leicester?

Curve is in Leicester’s Cultural Quarter, a short walk from Leicester railway station and close to many city bus routes, so public transport is convenient. If you plan to drive, check nearby car parks and evening parking charges in advance and allow extra time for city centre traffic before the performance.
